The SECU Board Of Directors: Democracy In Action... A Public Shame.

 

"Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered."

- Thomas Paine
 
                   
The SECU Board has released the Notice of the SECU Annual Meeting [link].

 ðŸ˜Ž Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse. On page 7, the SECU Board has shown its true colors. SECU Members will not be allowed to speak at the 2024 Annual Membership Meeting!

Here are the two rules that eliminate member participation at the 2024 SECU Annual Meeting:

Rule 5. Up to one hour will be set aside during the meeting for a question-and-answer session. Members must submit any questions in advance of the meeting. To permit as many members to ask questions as possible, we ask that you limit yourself to one question or topic. Members will be requested to provide us their name and city of residence. We intend to answer as many questions as time allows. If we receive multiple questions on the same topic, we may group them together and respond to them collectively. If there are questions that we are unable to answer during the question-and-answer session and are of general interest to members, we will post a summary on our website after the meeting. While we welcome member questions, we will not address questions that (i) are not relevant to SECU, (ii) contain offensive or otherwise inappropriate language, derogatory references to individuals, or that otherwise are in bad taste, (iii) relate to pending or threatened litigation, (iv) are repetitious of questions asked by others, (v) relate to personal matters, such as individual employee relation matters or individual member account issues, or (vi) are otherwise determined by the Chair to be inappropriate or otherwise not suitable for response during the Annual Meeting.
Rule 6. No substantive motions shall be permitted from the floor other than those provided in the notice of the meeting.

 ðŸ˜Ž If you want the chance to submit a question, you do so here by registering for the Annual Meeting [link]... you may only ask one question!

Well, hope it's now very clear to all of us what this election is about.. the 11 members of the SECU Board are taking away the democratic and cooperative rights of 2.8 million SECU member-owners.

If you've been hesitant to speak out for your credit union. Hope you'll stop being bashful... it truly is now or never!
 
 
 
... North Carolina deserves better!
