ABERDEEN, Md. — NAFCU Board Secretary Dave Gilbert, chairman of Aberdeen Proving Ground Federal Credit Union, learned a lot serving on the NAFCU board and hopes to share with other volunteers the ingredients for getting elected to a national trade association board.
Gilbert will be leaving the NAFCU Board after serving the maximum three consecutive three-year terms, but he wants to encourage other volunteers to strive to reach that level; he has been the sole volunteer to serve on the CUNA or NAFCU boards for a couple of years now.
There absolutely is a place for volunteers at all levels of the credit union community, he emphasized. "It's logical to expect to have volunteers at each of those levels," Gilbert said of the credit unions, state and national trade associations. It only makes sense because of the democratic, volunteer, non-profit model credit unions pride themselves on. If not, he said, "There comes a question 'is this a fa??ade?'"
