The Purpose of the Annual Meeting |
An annual meeting of the members is mandated by the By-laws of the Credit Union. The meeting is to be held within the first three months of each calendar year. At least 100 members or 5% of the membership, whichever is less, must be present to constitute a quorum. Members must be eighteen years of age at the time of the meeting to be eligible to vote.
Members, by a majority vote of those present at any meeting, may review the acts and reverse the decisions of the Board of Directors, provided the notice of the meeting shall have stated the questions to be considered.

Order of Business |
Unless modified by the president or acting chairman, the order of business at the Annual Meeting shall be as follows: a) roll call, b) reading of minutes of last meeting, c) report of directors, d) report of treasurer, e) unfinished business, f) new business (including elections), and g) adjournment. |
| Elections |
Each year, two or three positions must be filled. A Nominating Committee screens potential nominees and must report those names to the board at least two weeks prior to the meeting. Anyone not picked by the Nominating Committee can run on petition, which must be submited to the Credit Union (signed by at least 2% of the membership - 50 members) on or before two weeks prior to the day of the meeting. Elections may be conducted by voice vote if there are no contests. Should there be more nominees or petitions than available positions, a ballot will be issued to the membership and each member will cast one vote for each position to be filled. The majority vote getters will be declared winners. |
