Board of Directors Election 2026

The Candidate Search Period for the 2026 Board of Directors Election is now over.

Candidates for our Board of Directors election will be announced on February 2 and voting will begin on this date. For this election, there are four vacancies on the Board. The candidates with the four highest vote results will be elected for a three-year term.

Candidates

FirstOntario is a successful financial institution with $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.

FirstOntario’s Board of Directors will be interviewing all candidates for this election. This year, in addition to governance and financial literacy experience, the Board is seeking candidates with experience in risk management oversight, and information technology governance.

Those who possess governance and financial literacy experience with some or all the additional competencies indicated above, at a level being sought by the Board, will be endorsed to stand for election.

Endorsed candidates will be highlighted on the ballot. The Board asks that you please take into consideration the endorsed candidates when casting your votes.

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