Call for Nominations: Board of Directors Election
Three positions on the Board of Directors are to be filled. Board of Directors hold a 3-year term limit that will begin or renews upon election results in May 2026. The Nominating Committee has submitted the following nominees:
Donna Fontenot (incumbent) Harvey Ozbirn (incumbent) Kathryn “Kay” Riedel (incumbent)
Any eligible credit union member wishing to run for a position on the Board of Directors must submit a nomination petition that includes a statement of qualifications, biographical data, and a certificate stating that they are agreeable to nomination and will serve if elected to office. The petition must be signed by 1% of the Credit Union membership with a minimum of 20 and a maximum of 500 member signatures. Nomination petitions must be filed with the Secretary of the Board of Directors no later than April 3, 2026.
If the number of nominees equals the number of open positions, then the credit union will not conduct the election by ballot and there will be no nominations accepted from the floor at the Annual Meeting. In the event there is more than one nominee for each position to be filled, elections will be conducted electronically prior to the Annual Meeting.
Qualifications of all candidates will be posted in branch lobbies by Wednesday, April 8, 2026. Election results will be announced at the Annual Meeting on Wednesday, May 13, 2026.
