About Us
Membership in Northrop Grumman Federal Credit Union means co-ownership in one of the strongest credit unions in the country.
Board of Directors
Control of Northrop Grumman Federal Credit Union and its management is in the hands of the membership. Once a year, members elect a Board of Directors at their annual meeting. Each member gets one vote, regardless of the number of shares owned. One person, one vote means that control and direction of the Credit Union is not based on the financial resources of a few members, but on the needs of the entire membership.
