Our Board

At Piedmont Advantage Credit Union, we are unique in that our Board of Directors is strictly volunteer. Our Board consists of individuals of diverse industry, experience and community involvement. They do not receive compensation for their time and talents.

President / CEO Dion L. Williams said, "I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Board of Directors and Supervisory Committee for their service to Piedmont Advantage Credit Union. They serve without compensation, so their time, talent and knowledge are shared with the credit union as a labor of love. The members elect the volunteers to represent the members. Our volunteers represent the history and tradition of the credit union as well as a commitment to the members and communities we serve."
