Board of Directors restructuring | Hubert Financial | Discussion forum

By a 93% vote, director districts will be eliminated.

That outcome is approaching DPRK election results in the level of unanimity. Nonetheless, the people have spoken!  

Have they? Noteworthy is, like many credit unions, Access did not publish the total ballots cast, or the total number of valid ballots. That's crucial information, but, as is common with credit union governance, relatively few members participate. Since Crosstown Civic Credit Union members make up, overwhelming, the largest pre-Access membership base, as they're based in Winnipeg, it's fair to say they made up the most number of members who voted, and, as urban dwellers, stand to benefit the most from elimination of director districts.

Don't get me wrong, I'm pleased to see director directors eliminated, as it means long-standing de facto "director for lifers" like Sunova's Lesli Malegus will actually have to mount a solid campaign and "ground game" outside of their hometown, in order to win re-election.

Note: I did not get a chance to vote this time, like many members, although I simply forgot. Most just aren't interested

Cheers,
Doug
