Board of Directors Election

Upcoming Elections

Our annual Board of Directors Election is our members’ opportunity to make their voices heard by choosing the fellow members they feel will best fill important roles on the Board of Directors.

Board of Directors Election 2026

Voting is now open for FirstOntario’s Board of Directors election. FirstOntario members 18 years of age or older who are members in good standing as of January 28, 2026, are eligible to vote in our Board of Directors Election. For this election, there are four vacancies on the Board. The four candidates with the most votes will be elected for a three-year term.

FirstOntario is a successful financial institution with over $7 billion in assets under management. The credit union regulator, the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario, requires that qualified members with the necessary experience serve on FirstOntario’s Board of Directors.

This year, your Board of Directors also established two additional areas of competency that are needed on the Board. These competencies are risk management oversight, and information technology governance.

FirstOntario’s Governance Committee interviewed all candidates for this election and recommended the Board endorse the candidates they believe have the required qualifications and experience to best serve on your Board as set out by our regulator and credit union. We ask that you please take into consideration the Board’s endorsed candidates when casting your votes.

Election Results

Election results will be announced at FirstOntario’s Annual General Meeting on Wednesday, April 22, 2026. All FirstOntario members are welcome to attend.
