One of the greatest assets our CUSO has to offer is that our structure mirrors that of credit unions: the people who lead the CUSO are the same people who own and participate in it as equal partners. Our Board of Directors consists of a diverse group of nine dedicated industry leaders who provide focused leadership, as each member has a vested interest in our collective success.

Our CUSO model sets us apart by creating equity through ownership and maintaining higher levels of cooperation and trust that you won’t find in other vendor models. Directors are challenged to wear multiple hats and focus on addressing issues regarding products, strategy, and business development. This format taps the many talents and leadership skills of our directors and adds value for every Xtend client.

This year at our Annual Stockholders Meeting, on June 17, 2025, we will hold an election to fill three (3) seats on the Xtend Board of Directors. We operate according to cooperative principles, which means we are a democratic organization controlled by our members and clients. We encourage them to participate actively in setting policies and making decisions. Our owners have equal shares, equal votes, and equal voices.

Per our Board Member Handbook, this is the official notification that the Xtend Board of Directors election is now open.
