There are four elements to an effective board framework, according to Steve Salzer, senior vice president risk and general counsel for PSCU.

He says an effective board framework consists of:
- Strategic alignment.
- Structure and process.
- People and composition.
- Culture.
PSCU’s board is comprised of 11 board members, and four associate board members, all of them credit union CEOs.
Salzer’s overview also covered:
- Responsibilities of the board.
- Recruiting board members.
- Succession planning.
- Roles and responsibilities of the chairman.
- Establishing a successful culture.
