2026 Board of Director Election Results

The election of our Board of Directors is one of the most important ways for members to have their say in the governance and direction of Affinity. As a financial co-operative, we need directors who have the knowledge, skills and experience to guide Affinity. We also need directors who understand what it means to be a credit union, to focus on the future and ask good strategic questions of both the credit union and of themselves.

Our Board is comprised of 12 directors who work together to ensure that Affinity remains a forward-looking, responsible and successful credit union, driven by what matters most: our members and communities.

The director election results were announced at the Annual & Special Meeting  on April 15, 2026 . Directors are elected to serve for three-year terms and assumed their positions immediately following the Annual & Special Meeting.

Please join us in congratulating Tracy Arno as a returning director and new directors Todd Antill, Shannan Corey and Noel Voykin.

In addition, please welcome our returning Board of Directors, including:

  • Nathaniel Cole
  • Cara Bahr
  • Kurt Holfeuer
  • Kent Kraft
  • Leanne LaPrise
  • Jocelyn Tratch
  • Raegan Wheler
  • Pauline Ziehl Grimsrud

We would also like to recognize and thank all members who let their name stand for election. Member participation in the governance of Affinity is an important part of being a financial co-operative.
