LAFCU’s 2010 Annual Meeting will take place Tuesday, February 23, 2010, at 5:30 p.m. at our Los Angeles Mall Branch, 201 North Los Angeles Street, Space 201, in downtown Los Angeles. Annual status reports to members will be presented by our Board of Directors’ Chairperson and Treasurer, the Supervisory and Credit Committee Chairpersons, and LAFCU’s President/CEO. Results of the annual Board election will also be announced, & copies of the “Year 2009 Annual Report” will be distributed.

For 2010, Board of Directors’ offices 1, 2, & 3, each with three-year terms, are up for election. The officials currently holding these offices are: Office 1 – Jack Mathews, Office 2 – Jerry Waggoner, and Office 3 – Roslyn Carter-Phillips. This year, each position will be automatically re-elected by acclamation, since no challengers submitted

 

a completed petition, statement, and list of qualifications by the November 21, 2009 deadline. As a result, no ballots will be mailed for this election.

Nominations for Board vacancies are made by a Nominating Committee, or by petition. This year, the three incumbents were nominated by that committee, and each nomination was accompanied by a signed statement from the nominee stating that they agreed to the nomination and would serve if elected.

Appointment(s) will be made by the Board of Directors to two Board committees for the terms scheduled to expire, and each term is three years. The Supervisory Committee is responsible for the internal auditing of LAFCU, and the Credit

 
Committee is responsible for meeting at least weekly to evaluate member loan requests. Members interested in serving on either committee must send a letter of
application and information concerning any related experience to LAFCU, Attention: President/CEO, by February 19, 2010.

Letters of application or résumés of applicants not selected will remain on file for two years for consideration in the event of a vacancy. An important consideration and qualification for Board and Committee positions is the willingness to volunteer time to serve LAFCU and its members.
