Cornerstone League is searching high and low for an advisory director to join the board of Credit Union Resources, Inc. (the for-profit arm that goes by Cornerstone Resources). Think of it as bringing in a ringer—someone who lives and breathes fintech and digital transformation.

This isn’t just a nice-to-have position. It’s part of Cornerstone’s master plan to beef up industry collaboration and inject some serious tech expertise into the Resources board. The gig runs for two years, and while advisory directors don’t get voting rights, they’re far from wallflowers. They’ll attend board meetings and drop strategic wisdom to help shape how Cornerstone Resources serves credit unions going forward.

“This advisory position reflects our commitment to exploring innovative ways to better serve credit unions and the members who depend on them,” said Ryan Dold, Cornerstone Resources EVP and chief revenue officer. Translation? The financial world is changing faster than a Netflix algorithm, and they want someone who can help them stay ahead of the curve on technology, payments, and what members actually want.

What They’re Looking For

Cornerstone Resources isn’t messing around with this search. They’ve got a pretty specific wish list for their ideal candidate:

  • You’re currently a senior-level executive or board director at a for-profit company, credit union service organization (CUSO), or fintech firm
  • You’re not already on the Cornerstone Credit Union League board (conflict of interest and all that)
  • You know banking, financial systems, emerging fintech models, and credit unions like the back of your hand
  • You’ve got real experience evaluating vendor relationships, tech performance metrics, and product development roadmaps
  • You’ve actually led digital transformation initiatives or launched technology partnerships—not just talked about them
  • Digital payments, technology infrastructure, and cybersecurity aren’t foreign languages to you
  • You’ve developed and executed strategic and financial plans that actually worked
  • You’ve built or implemented innovative, technology-driven business models in the real world

How to Apply

If this sounds like your jam, you’ve got until 5 p.m. CT on July 17, 2026 to submit your application online. Head over to Cornerstone’s website for all the details and to throw your hat in the ring.

Bottom line? Cornerstone Resources is looking for someone who can help credit unions navigate the increasingly complex intersection of finance and technology. If you’ve got the chops and the vision, this could be your chance to influence how an entire industry evolves.
