THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Sunward is governed by a Board of nine volunteers elected by the membership. Directors serve three-year terms. Any adult member in good standing is eligible to run for the board. Those wishing to stand for office must obtain sufficient signatures from other members to meet election requirements.

THE SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE

The Supervisory Committee has retained the certified public accounting firm of Moss Adams LLP to conduct an independent audit of Sunward's financial statements. At the completion of the audit, the full report will be available at the Credit Union's administrative office for review by the membership.

In addition, at the direction of the Supervisory Committee, both internal audit staff and independent audit firms are utilized to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of the credit union’s risk management, internal control, and governance processes.

If you have questions or concerns, we will address them promptly. You can submit concerns regarding Credit Union policies and procedures, conflicts of interest, and/or fraud to: Sunward Supervisory Committee, PO Box 13045, Albuquerque, NM 87191.
