"There are many benefits to credit union Membership, but none are more important than having a voice in credit union governance," noted Sean M. Rathjen, Consumers Credit Union CEO. "The ability to both run for the Board of Directors and to vote in the annual election for the Board are privileges that we here at CCU certainly do not take for granted. Consumers Credit Union is extremely fortunate to have five highly-qualified candidates interested in serving on our Board."

Voting at the Annual Meeting will be conducted by CCU's CPA firm, Wipfli, Ullrich, Bertelson LLP. After results are certified, those elected will be notified to attend the Board's Organizational Meeting at 6:00 pm on Thursday, March 31, 2016. The agenda for that initial board meeting consists of organizing the Board, including the election of Officers for the coming year and determining who will serve on the Board's various standing committees.
