Meet the VCCU leadership team.

VCCU’s leaders are dedicated, skilled, and committed to serving you.

Ventura County Credit Union is a not-for-profit financial institution, which means our leadership team is focused on returning profits back to our membership.

They are elected to make decisions that improve the lives of our members and strengthen our communities. And they strive to do that every day.


Board of Directors

Our volunteer directors were elected by Ventura County Credit Union’s members in order to lead our credit union to even further success. Each member’s vote counts equally and only members can serve as directors.
