✅ North Carolina’s most impactful election this Fall will surprise you
The most crucial upcoming election in North Carolina isn't for a governmental position but for a seat on the North Carolina State Employees Credit Union (SECU) Board. For over 85 years, SECU has provided affordable financial services to the state's employees, teachers, and their families, applying consistent low interest rates on mortgages, loans, and credit cards for all members, regardless of their economic background.
Unfortunately, the current SECU Board, composed mainly of politically influential former state employees, has strayed from this equitable approach. They've begun charging higher interest rates to middle-class and lower-income members while offering lower rates to wealthier individuals. This shift appears to prioritize the board's interests over serving the hundreds of thousands of Highway Patrolmen, Correctional Officers, Department of Transportation workers, and Teachers that SECU was originally established to assist.
Moreover, the current board has reduced services, increased interest rates for most members, and neglected to raise rates for savings accounts. They've also altered the election rules and bylaws to maintain their power and hinder potential opposition.
To rectify this situation, it's crucial to vote for the three self-nominated candidates who advocate for restoring SECU to its historical mission. The board's changes threaten to transform SECU into a conventional bank that favors the wealthy, undermining its original purpose. Voting for these candidates is vital for safeguarding our Credit Union. Visit secuvote.ey.com before October 3, 2023, to support this cause and ensure SECU serves its members as it was intended.

ReplyDeleteWas at my son's football game Friday night and had a teacher I have helped for years come up to me. She wanted to know what was going on with the election because she saw it online and got an email about it. She wanted to know why it all mattered now after so many years of her being a member. Now mind you, she is one that loses from RBL due to her husband having cancer and not so stellar credit. But you know what? She has never missed a payment with us, ever. I explained to her what was going on. She saw me again after the game and asked if I could come speak at their staff meeting Monday. I declined due to obvious reasons of course. So she said she would bring up voting during the meeting, especially since some of the staff would know Clements. So pushing people to vote online and via email might actually hurt the current board.
ReplyDeleteAsk her if she would like one of the Legacy 50 to speak. Guarantee that would work!
DeleteThis is a warning to all Member/Owners , you need to take this election seriously else you will wish you did ...

DeleteVote Perkins, Clements and Stone!
right .... just when you think things can't get worse, surprise!! you're paying to use your ATM to withdrawal your money! That's what the "industry standard" is .... so don't be shocked should this happen. It's just one of those things they never got around to telling the membership ...
