Selection and Appointment of Independent Non-Executive Chair of ILCU Board

The Irish League of Credit Unions (ILCU) is strengthening its governance structures through the introduction of an Independent Non-Executive Chair of the Board in 2027.

The appointment represents an important development in the ongoing evolution of the ILCU’s governance arrangements. A further independent director will be appointed in 2028, followed by a third in 2029, allowing for a gradual and considered transition.

The Independent Chair will lead the ILCU Board, supporting its effectiveness and ensuring strong governance, collective leadership and accountability.

The role of ILCU President will continue, with the President elected from within the credit union movement and representing the voice and interests of affiliated credit unions.

The process to identify and appoint the first Independent Non-Executive Chair is now well underway.

Further information about the position, including details of the role and application process, is available through the advertisement on the Boardmatch website:
