Ref: SEANC Resolution Regarding Risk-Based Lending at SECU
Dear Chairman Ayers:
The State Employees Association of North Carolina (SEANC) represents over 46,000 state employees in North Carolina, most of whom are members of the State Employees' Credit Union (SECU). SEANC has followed with great interest the recent discussions over the future direction of SECU. SEANC is particularly concerned with the introduction of risk-based lending at the credit union. It seems clear that risk-based lending will adversely impact the future cost of loans for a majority of state employees, not just SEANC members - and all members of SECU. SECU intends to introduce risk-based lending as of
March 1, 2023. SEANC is committed to protecting and enhancing the rights and benefits of current, retired and future state employees. With SEANC’s mission statement and the mission statement of SECU, and given our concern over your action, the SEANC Board of Governors, at its meeting on February 18, 2023, approved unanimously, the following resolution:
"The Board of Governors of the State Employees Association of North Carolina (SEANC) requests that the Board of Directors of the State Employees' Credit Union (SECU) rescind its approval of the risk-based lending program at its upcoming board meeting on Tuesday, February 21, 2023. The SEANC Board also requests that the SECU Board confirm its action with SEANC’s Executive Director Ardis Watkins, by no later than 5:00 pm on February 24, 2023. Should the SECU Board refuse to rescind implementation of the risk-based lending program, SEANC reserves the right to pursue all avenues available to block implementation of that program; and further, "

...or would you prefer to just keep smiling at SEANC and the membership, and act like nothing "unusual" is going on at SECU?
... looks like "your ship [er, "yacht"] is about to come in"!
It’s astounding that This Board claims to have heard from “ few” members! Insulated and disdainful of the members they should serve…..wonder if they even read the emails and letters
ReplyDeleteYes,SEANC is about 46,000 members
DeleteDid anyone ever get a response? Was that smarmy fireside chat that answered nothing it?
DeleteDon't forget, the members paid for the production of that smarmy video too!
DeleteHas SEANC been notified when the annual meeting is? Can we make sure they are informed about submitting candidates ?
ReplyDeleteDetails about time and location of 2023 annual meeting are not yet available according to my last inquiry...guess they're having a hard time finding a much larger venue 😉
ReplyDeletethey're looking for a place that seats just about 11 ....
