Elected Administrators

You can express your interest to become an elected administrator at any time. Speak to your Regional Manager or an employee for more details.

During the nomination period, members may apply for one of the available positions. Administrators are not appointed by the Regional Manager; they are elected by the delegates, who are elected by fellow-members. There are 36 delegates, six in each of the six regions served by Caisse Alliance.
