The Governance Committee has nominated Marvin G. Copeland, Jr. and Christopher D. Terry as candidates for election to DuPont Community Credit Union’s Board of Directors for 2024.
There are two expiring terms for positions currently held by Everett J. Campbell, Jr. and Marvin G. Copeland, Jr. If a member desires to serve on the Board of Directors, but has not been nominated by the Governance Committee, he/she may be nominated by petition, which must be signed by at least 500 DCCU members. The petition forms and procedures are available by email to GovernanceCommittee@mydccu.com and must be submitted by Tuesday, October 31, 2023.
It is important to note that an election will not be conducted when the number of nominees equals the number of positions to be filled. However, if a member successfully completes the petition process and is added to the slate, the election period will start in January 2024.

“What I love most about serving on the board of DCCU is the continuous learning and how this organization does what is best for the members. I will always speak up for what is right and vow to do what is ethically best for the members.”
Christopher D. Terry
The Waynesboro, Staunton and Augusta County areas have been Chris Terry’s home his entire life. His family located here from Covington when his great-grandfather purchased Mathers Construction Co. from John Mathers in the early 1960s. Currently, Chris resides in Churchville with his wife, Lindsay, his daughter, Lennon, and his two sons, Cason and Bowen.
DuPont was a large part of Chris’ family’s company’s success and afforded them an opportunity to grow their business throughout the years. Like his family before him, Chris has always shared a great passion for this community and has been fortunate to have made a career contributing to its success. Through his professional career, Chris has participated directly in the Credit Union’s expansion into new markets, managing the majority of all new construction projects and renovations. He had the privilege of being a member of the DCCU team as they developed and executed their strategic plans for construction to better serve membership. As a member of that team, Chris was honored to see firsthand the passion the DCCU team had for the community and the significant role they played in it. Personally, his family has been members for 30+ years. They have always valued the service, respect and personal experience that comes with dealing with DCCU.
“As a Board Director, my hope would be to contribute my time and talent to continue the Credit Union’s effort of improving service and member experience. Especially as our area grows and sees more positive impact from individuals relocating here, new business opening and existing business growing. There is a great opportunity to serve, and I look forward to the potential to be a part of it.”
