Caisse Desjardins de Mékinac-Des Chenaux is looking for a candidate between the ages of 18 and 34 to participate in the Board Succession program.
The program provides caisse members with an opportunity to learn more about how the board of directors works and to bolster their caisse's performance. The board of directors selects the winning candidates, who participate in board meetings and discussions, but without voting rights.
It's an opportunity to represent your community and embody cooperative values while gaining valuable work experience. You'll grow your network by representing the caisse during democratic events, while making a name for yourself and tapping into your inner leader.
