2026 Election of Directors Candidates

Incumbent

^*Endorsed by the Board of Directors

‍

‍

I am seeking re-election to the board of directors of Cambrian Credit Union after completing my first term as a director. It has truly been an honour to serve our members during a time of economic uncertainty, shifting regulatory expectations, and rapid change across the financial services landscape.

‍

I bring to the board a professional background rooted in audit, risk management, and governance. This includes serving as an auditor at Manitoba Hydro for over 20 years, specializing in information technology, contract, and operational engagements. During this time, I acquired extensive knowledge of operations and processes in all business units, identified gaps in performance and recommended solutions, some of which resulted in changes to corporate policies. Prior to my time at Manitoba Hydro, I served as an Internal Auditor at Western Canada Lotteries Corporation for over six years.

‍

These experiences have shaped my commitment to strong fiduciary oversight, effective internal controls, and thoughtful, disciplined risk stewardship. As a director, I rely on evidence-based analysis, independent judgment, and a deep appreciation for the board’s responsibility to protect Cambrian’s long-term financial well-being while always acting in the best interests of our member owners.

‍

Over the past term, I have served on the Nominating Committee and currently sit on both the Audit Committee and the Risk Oversight Committee. Through this work, I have supported the board’s oversight of financial performance, enterprise risk, internal controls, and governance processes. I value transparency, accountability, and constructive dialogue—ensuring the board has the clarity and confidence it needs to make sound, forward-looking decisions.

‍

In today’s global environment, where economic and policy shifts far beyond Canada’s borders can influence local financial stability, the board’s role in risk oversight has never been more important. Throughout these challenges, I have remained committed to governance practices that help Cambrian stay resilient, well capitalized, and focused on delivering value to members—while maintaining the appropriate balance between board oversight and management’s operational leadership.

‍

Looking ahead, continuity and strong governance will continue to be essential as Cambrian navigates a complex and evolving landscape. My priorities include safeguarding financial strength, ensuring robust risk oversight, and supporting strategic investments that enhance member experience while upholding the cooperative principles that make Cambrian unique.

‍

If re-elected, I will continue to serve with integrity, independence, and diligence. I am committed to contributing my expertise in audit, risk, and governance to support Cambrian’s ongoing success as a trusted, resilient, and member-focused credit union.

‍

Thank you for your consideration, and for your continued engagement as a member-owner of Cambrian Credit Union.

I’m grateful to be considered for the Cambrian Credit Union board of directors. Cambrian’s mission to simplify banking and support the financial well-being of its members genuinely inspires me.
