Executive Summary
$4,245: The price of a well-used Honda Civic or the average amount collected by a paid credit union director?
Some credit union directors are not technically volunteers. At 145 credit unions in 12 states, directors earn somewhere between $60 and $37,597 annually. Federal credit unions are allowed to compensate a single board officer, but are expressly forbidden from paying other directors. Otherwise states are free to write their own rules. Tennessee and Washington recently joined 10 other states that have long allowed compensation in various forms. In most cases, credit union director compensation is dwarfed by fees paid to directors of commercial banks, but the pay trend is slowly catching on, especially among large credit unions.
