Focus on Financial Planning with Moya Financial Wealth's Taras Komarnytski

Moya Financial's Board of directors is elected by Moya Financials' Members. The Board proudly acts as the members' voice, overseeing and setting the credit union's policies and governance. The Board of Moya Financial is made up of ten like-minded individuals committed to the credit union's success. Their role falls primarily to overall long-term strategy, ensuring that we're always doing what's right for our Members, employees, and communities. Each Director has a 3-year term and as a result, every year, some Director terms expire. The incumbent Director can run again for a new 3-year term, and at the same time, other Moya Financial members can also apply to run. As there were no Director Candidate applications received from the Membership for the 2019 & 2020 Board of Directors elections, the incumbents were deemed acclaimed to serve another term.Three Board positions are open for the upcoming election for a 3-year term. The process for the 2021 elections began in December 2020. The Nominating and Member Relations Committee accepted new director applications from Monday, December 7, 2020, until Friday, January 8, 2021. This year they received 6 applications. We are excited to host the 2021 Candidates for the Moya Financial Board of Directors on our podcast to tell us about themselves, their experiences, and why they want to be on the Board of the credit union. To learn more about each candidate, please visit moyafinancial.ca/governance/director-elections for full biographies.All six candidates meet the eligibility requirements to serve as a Moya Financial Credit Union Director. Driven by a responsibility to both its members and various regulating bodies, Moya continues to focus on enhancing its Board and governance processes by recommending specific candidates to the Membership based on filling the Board's skill gaps in the areas of business/strategic decision making, marketing, audit, lending and finance. Candidates are also assessed on the basis of alignment to Moya's values, demonstrated leadership and commitment to a team-based approach. The Board recognizes the benefits of having a diverse composition. They have identified diversity as an essential element in attracting high-caliber Directors, maintaining a high-functioning Board, and building a competitive advantage. To that end, the Board has determined that its ideal composition includes a mix of genders and cultures and has set targets for each element.Don't forget to vote!  Eligible member of Moya Financial Credit Union will receive a voting package mailed to the address associated with their account with Moya Financial. The voting period is March 1 – 14, 2021. Voting members MUST VOTE FOR THREE CANDIDATES.
