The 2026 SECU Board Election: Members Will Have A Choice...

  ... but don't tell anybody!   Especially SECU members?

 ✅ SECU published the names of its' three, self-selected candidates for the 2026 Board election on July 10, 2026

✔  On August 4, 2026, SECU confirmed that Julian Hawes and Barry Browning  had been nominated by the members to also be candidates for the board.  

 

👉 [Good morning, Barry/Julian, Ernst & Young validated your petition. Since you validly self-nominated for this year’s election, your name will be placed on the ballot. Thank you]

 

✔  On August 6, 2026,  the member-nominated candidates - Hawes & Browning - asked when their candidacy would be announced to the SECU membership? [Fairness, equal time... and all that!]

 

👉 [SECU will publish the membership notice of the 2026 Annual Meeting on August 28, 2026, which will include the names of the candidates and information on how to vote.]

 

😎 A three week wait to let the 3 million members of SECU know they have a choice? Wonder why? 

  👉 Board "policy" ? 

 An informed membership? Or...  "We'll let you know what you need to know, when you need to know it!"
