Janezic, chairman; Ann Campanella, vice-chair; Alice Clements, treasurer; Denise Charts, secretary; and Joseph Rajcevich, chair of the supervisory committee.

Those attending the annual meeting received a comprehensive update on the member-owned Credit Union's 2015 performance. During his remarks, Consumers Credit Union CEO Sean Rathjen also outlined plans for 2016.

"CCU enjoyed a wonderful turnout for our 86th annual meeting. It certainly is a fine example of the active participation from the members we serve," said Rathjen. "The support we receive with each passing year is paramount to our overall success.

"We'd like to thank the many elected officials, community leaders and business partners who attended our annual meeting and we're very excited to begin working with our newly elected board of directors and the 2016 Executive Committee," he added. "These leaders play a crucial role in driving both our past and present accomplishments."
