SECU Annual Meeting: Intimidating Questions?

     Can you elaborate on how this is intimidating? 

 ✅ Four thoughts on that...

1) Employees may be reluctant to submit questions of concern. The fear of retribution by employees - whether real or not - is typical in most businesses.

2) As you've noticed at the national level, retribution is real (by both political parties!) and has become a hard-edged, take no prisoners war.

3) No one believes that the names attached to questions will remain anonymous.

4) The anonymice of "Social Media" (pictured above!) can be both vicious and vindictive, unconstrained by the truth or and need for accuracy.

😎 Why would an SECU member risk "putting themselves in play"? 

Anyway, why is it necessary?

 

 

SECU Annual Membership Meeting - Questionable?

   ... of a peculiar sort!

✅ Anonymous September 1, 2025 at 10:00 AM How do we submit a question?

❋ PRE-REGISTRATION AND QUESTION SUBMISSION
In order to ensure that SECU has arranged adequate space for the Annual Meeting attendees, we ask that all members register in advance by visiting https://www.ncsecu.org/about-us/corporate- information/governance#governance-updates. Members may submit questions for the question- and-answer session as part of the registration process. We look forward to seeing you there.

It is interesting that in order to ask a question of the Board of Directors, a member must pre-register and identify themselves. The reason given for the required pre-registration is "to ensure SECU has arranged adequate space for the Annual Meeting attendees."

Attendees, as you know, will not be permitted speak nor ask any questions at the 2025 Annual Meeting. The live stream is view only, not interactive. No election activity, no resolutions, no follow-up questions or suggestions.

😎  Why would you as a member drive to Greensboro to listen to our CEO, Ms. Leigh Brady, read out prepared answers to pre-screened questions for an hour? Couldn't SECU just post the answers on the website and save everybody an hour?
