As a volunteer with Visions, you can be part of something even bigger than yourself. You'll join a group of nearly 250,000 Visions members that choose to invest in their communities – all while helping to shape our direction.

Our Board is made up of a diverse group of individuals throughout all our regions – New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. These nine individuals are responsible for providing strategic oversight for the organization and CEO.

While a keen financial acumen is desired, there's no specific background or prior experience required – you don't even need to be in the banking industry! A strong board is comprised of individuals from unique backgrounds, including education, construction, and more. Our members don't fit neatly into one category, and neither should our board members.

Board members are nominated by the appropriate committee or election process, and participate in:

  • Monthly Board Meetings (Wednesday evenings)
  • Annual Membership Meeting in March
  • Annual Strategic Planning Session in April
  • Conferences for continuing education (annual)
  • Additional committee meetings as assigned
