Remember those 2025 "no amendment amendments" to the SECU bylaws? As an SECU member; if you don't, you should!
It all got started at the 2025 SECU Annual Meeting when our CEO Leigh Brady fumbled a poorly worded, misleading response - best described as impenetrable and pretentious - to a pre-submiitted member question [link].
Follow up inquiries went for naught [link]. It was pointed out that the minutes of the Board of Directors provide official proof of the new, Board approved September, 2025 bylaw amendments [link]. Why not just tell SECU member-owners the facts on these proposed bylaws changes [link] - everybody else seems to know? [link]. Finally, an effort for a straight answer from Ms. Brady was sought through the key SECU Advisory Board network, remember them? :
✔ From the SECU 2025 Annual Report: "Another key resource for SECU is our 3,000 member volunteers. Each SECU branch has an Advisory Board composed of up to 12 volunteers who serve as an important link to connect our membership with our staff and Board of Directors."
✅ The following question was submitted directly from the Advisory Board to Leigh Brady:
October 28, 2025
"Ms. Brady,
As an active advisory board member, and one who firmly believes in interacting with our membership, I have a question asked by a member who asked me to forward the question to you.
The official response from Leigh Brady is in: "You know I can't tell you that."
Ms. Brady, of course, can "tell you that", but that simple truth would look a bit awkward given her 2025 Annual Meeting performance.
