✅ You, as a member-owner of SECU, have a real choice when you vote this year. The choice is between the incumbents - the "We" listen, but you can't talk! crowd. The same old/same-old board members who voted this year to prohibit members like you from speaking at the 2024 Annual Meeting.

jim blaine September 24, 2024 at 9:47 AM✅ You can vote for your democratic rights as an SECU member and fight this injustice and reject this arrogant insult against every member. Is it your credit union or theirs?
Last chance, your choice!

100% even if I didn’t agree with the speakers I agree with their right as a member to speak. They just want to be able to run the narrative and it’s terrible it’s your credit union but we choose what you can say and when you can say it!

Is it just me or is a nominating committee made up of current board members going to be biased towards those incumbents?
ReplyDeleteOf course.

DeleteTHEY TOOK OUR JOBS!!!!!
ReplyDelete... and your money! (Memo: they think it's theirs)
DeleteSure don't mind spending it on keeping the incumbents in office. How many marketing and PR firms have they hired this time? Too bad they didn't use some of them to help Fleming write his letter. Sheesh they want us to think the incumbents are smarter than the member -nominated guys! Vote Blaine-Ford-Hawes-Parrish
Deletesmart and honest are two different animals all together ... I'll take honest over smart everyday of the week!

ReplyDeleteYes! Of all the disagreements one might have with the current SECU Board, this fundamental suppression of the members' right to speak and participate in the SECU Annual Membership meeting is the "final straw" - without question shameful, undemocratic and without precedent among credit unions. The CU world is watching in astonishment..
DeleteThis action would be similar to the US Congress unilaterally deciding to repeal the First Amendment to the Constitution. The SECU Board has purposefully eliminated the rights of 2.8 million members - your rights - to openly voice their opinions on the future of their cooperative.
Perhaps you should vote like your future and that of SECU deepened on it - it does.
this comment should be THE post. Credit union members need to understand what is at stake here. Next comes merger.....read Chip Filson's blog.
