Board of Directors
Meet Our Strategic Leaders
we believe the best boards are ones
that think strategically,
care about the mission and Look to the future
Our Board of Directors is comprised of highly skilled business minded members who are compensated and elected to establish the strategic direction of On Tap Credit Union.® Their oversight includes governing operations in alignment with the strategic direction, establishing policies, amending bylaws, and acting on decisions involving the membership, including establishing which products and services are available to members.
That’s a lot. But there’s more!
Every Board member is a member of the credit union, so they have a vested interest in making sure the resources and members’ money is safe and well-managed. They believe in a credit union that is caring, genuine and approachable—all traits that set us apart from other financial institutions. And they work to make certain that the vision is being carried out:
Our vision is to craft financial opportunities and bring the dream of the Colorado lifestyle
to every member of the community.
The Board meets regularly and receives ongoing education to make sure that On Tap Credit Union stays true to its roots as a not-for-profit cooperative owned by its members.
As we say at On Tap, we are Member Owned and Colorado Proud!™

“On Tap is unique in the marketplace. Not only do we offer exceptional products and services, but we work with our members to design a sound financial strategy for their lives. As a member of the Board, I help ensure that this commitment to crafting individual banking solutions stays strong. "

Vice Chair
“When I moved from Scotland to Golden, CO to work for Coors Brewing Company in 1995, On Tap Credit Union stepped up on day 1 to help me. They opened my account and helped me establish a U.S. credit score so I could set up my family's new life in Colorado. That account is still my primary checking account, more than 25 year later. It is my privilege to give back to the family who supported me and join the board bringing over years of strategic thinking, leadership, and marketing experience to the Credit Union."
David Engle
Secretary/Treasurer

My goal is to help refine strategy, plan ahead and implement the proper controls to sustain and expand our business. We do all of this to serve our members and our communities. I love being part of the team.”

The commitment and dedication of employees across the enterprise is what made it special. On Tap Credit Union and its involvement in the community is a reflection of that. I want to help ensure that On Tap Credit Union remains a valuable resource in the community for many years to come”

I believe this happens when we genuinely connect with our members by embracing our common bond – our love for all things Colorado – and then focusing on meeting our members’ financial needs. I’m so excited about the direction of On Tap going forward because it aligns with who I am as a person. I constantly try to form authentic, helping relationships with people.”
