SECU What's Next? Shouldn't The Members Rights Come First?

re: 2025 SECU Board Election Policies and Procedures.

Dear Ms. Warren,

Thank you for your continuing inquiry. The various questions and statements (including mine!) concerning this "complaint" appear too complex.

Believe this is the bottom line:     

1) Did the change and further restriction of SECU member rights to file candidate packages, in the 2025 SECU Board Election Policies and Procedures, require the 180 day notification of change? [No one denies the change occurred.}

2) Was the change significant? [Yes, as you may confirm in SECU minutes or discussion with the SECU Board].

3) Did the change cause harm? [Yes, SECU members prepared to submit candidate packages could not].

Hope you will agree that the change was significant and required the 180 day notification. 

There is of course an easy remedy to the controversy, fair to all. 

The SECU Nominating Committee has another 23 days - until July 11, 2025 - to consider candidates. The SECU Board can simply extend the candidate application window and accept any additional packages - no harm in that!.

Thank you.

Sincerely, 

Jim Blaine, SECU Member
