Alan Small

Board Endorsed

I have been a member of FCU for well over 25 years. As an Executive Recruitment specialist, I have had the pleasure of working with the Board of FCU to recruit several key executives, including John Lahey (CEO) and Kelly McGiffin (CEO). Previously, I held leadership positions at Credit Union Central of Ontario (Central 1) and the TD Canada Trust.

I have extensive leadership experience in Human Resources, Finance and Board Governance. I have a passion for Credit Unions, where members are the owners, and a strong admiration for the special niche they occupy in the financial services industry.

I have watched FCU grow from a closed bond credit union to the full-service financial institution it is today. I would be honored to contribute to the future of FCU, as a Board member, working tirelessly to guide its future direction for the benefit of the membership.
