AMOCO differs from other financial institutions in that the members of the credit union are also the owners. The member/owners govern the credit union via a volunteer Board of Directors, elected by and from the credit union’s membership. In addition, the Board of Directors appoints fellow members of the credit union to serve on the Supervisory and Governance Committees. Combined, these volunteers ensure that the members’ assets are safeguarded, and that management adheres to laws, regulations, policies, and procedures.
