Debacle?
Or Is there Just A Problem With Free Speech?
😎 About the thinking in a couple of recent comments:
The Motion
"In accordance with the bylaws, pending vote of the membership at the 2022 Annual Membership Meeting; it is moved that:
The Board of Directors review and respond to the above seven questions, after statewide discussions with the staff and all advisory boards; and that the results of those discussions be published to all member-owners of the State Employees Credit Union as soon as practical.
In addition, it is requested that the Board of Directors update, publish, and make available to all member-owners its’ Strategic Plan for SECU no later than 90 days prior to the 2023 Annual Meeting. The Strategic Plan should clearly explain the Board’s recommendations for a new culture and new direction for SECU."
✅ The motion asked only for information and clarification. No harangue, no threats, no demands for action, no request for operational changes. Please just "take your time" and provide some background and context. The bottom line question was pretty basic: Who are we? Where are you leading us? Why are you taking us there?
The resolution was requested by a number of highly loyal and committed SECU members, volunteers and employees. There seemed to be great concern over the "new culture" that had not been adequately explained to any group of SECU stakeholders.
✅ The motion was calmly approved without objection and was seconded by a member of the SECU Board from the podium...
Hard to understand how that resolution was considered a debacle or was grounds for the SECU Board to revoke the members' rights to speak at their annual meeting
Because one member hijacned the meeting, and resolutions were operational and didn’t need to be allowed but were, and they were ill-conceived and ineffective.
ReplyDelete8:15pm Dilbert would recognize this one. Any time a member asks about their credit union represents a "hijacned" meeting.... La-la lander me thinks.
DeleteYour responsibility is that, even after all your resolutions were thoroughly answered at the expense of the membership, you’re still on this wildly inappropriate campaign filled with conspiracy theory’s and lies.
ReplyDeleteSorry. There are no lies in that resolution. The lies came from Gym Haze and the Haze Board. Ever since he was hired, there is less interest in what is good for members and more focus on what other CU do. There is less focus on rank and file employees. Seems to be about expansion into commercial lending by folks who are not managing the consumer end all that well. The numbers are the numbers. Look for yourself.
DeleteWhat’s wrong with the consumer end?
DeleteBoard got caught flat footed on that and elections in 2023. That will never happen again.
ReplyDeleteYou are correct. They'll make sure it wont happen again. Only takes some Board Members and a few rogue Executives to do what they think is best. Nevermind those peasant members or long time employees, they dont know any better.
DeleteJust ask any LGFCU member how they now feel after trusting their Board and ELT to do what's best for their CU. Still can't wrap my head why anyone associated with that fiasco hasn't been held accountable.
Anonymous August 27, 2025 at 3:18 PM "Fact is besides the 2022 debacle a member hadn’t use their “right” to bring a resolution at the annual meeting in decades."
ReplyDeleteThat sounds suspiciously like something McKinley Wooten would say................
Its wise and relevant comment, so perhaps so.
