GOVERNANCE 2025


You’re Not Just A Member. You’re An Owner.

Since 1935, Justice Federal has been a member-owned, not-for-profit financial cooperative. As a Member, you are an owner. Your Share represents your ownership and entitles you to vote in the annual election of the Board of Directors.

Justice Federal Credit Union’s Board of Directors consists of nine Credit Union Members who serve as volunteers elected by the membership. These elected volunteers donate their time to represent you in the oversight and governance of your Credit Union.

Justice Federal’s Nominating Committee is pleased to put forth four candidates listed below, for four seats on the 2025 Board of Directors. The one or three-year terms of service begin May 2025.

Presently, an election is not slated to occur and there will be no nominations from the floor.

Nominations by petition must be signed by one percent (1%) of the total membership, with a maximum of five hundred (500) Members.

Given the size of our Credit Union, five hundred (500) signatures of Members are required for a nomination by petition.

Nominations by petition are due by March 1, 2025. To learn more, and to obtain the necessary forms, interested candidates should contact Mary Ann Woodson, Secretary of the Board, via email at BODnomination@jfcu.org or by mail at Justice Federal Credit Union, 5175 Parkstone Drive, Suite 200, Chantilly, Virginia 20151.

In the event the Secretary of the Board receives one or more confirmed petitions for nomination, an election will be held. Members would vote electronically by visiting www.jfcu.org. Voting would commence April 17, 2025 at 12:01 a.m. (EDT), and end May 17, 2025 at 11:59 p.m. (EDT). Should a confirmed petition for nomination not be received by March 1, 2025, an election will not be conducted, and the Nominating Committee will move to fill the positions with the candidates at hand.
