Conference 7.286::dcu

425.0. "Alfred Thompson - running for BoD" by CVG::THOMPSON (Radical Centralist) Thu Jan 23 1992 10:45

    I have decided to make a petition run for the DCU board of directors.
    It is my opinion that the members of the DCU who are not senior
    managers need some representation on the board. 

    I have been a Digital employee for the last 10 years. I joined the
    DCU my first week with the company. Since that time I have been a
    regular customer of the DCU and use it as my primary banking
    institution. 

    I would like to be a part of improving communication with and
    confidence in the board. I would also like to see the DCU find better
    ways to serve its members. Especially those members outside the 3M
    area. The DCU has a lot going for it. All of the staff members I have
    dealt with over the past 10 years have been excellent. The service is,
    in my opinion, better than any bank I have ever done business with.
    I think we can bring that service to all areas of the operation.

    I have had several years of experience on other kinds of boards.
    Specifically, I have served on a private school board for the last
    6 years. During that time I have evaluated and hired administrators
    and created operating budgets. Also I have served for 5 years on
    the budget committee of a NH public school system. This committee
    is responsible for developing an operating budget of well over
    $17,000,000 a year. I have chaired both of those boards. I believe that
    this experience will map very well into credit union board work. 

    I pride myself on my ability to represent others and to work for the
    greater good of the organization. I believe I can make a positive
    contribution to the DCU board of directors.

    Permission is granted to forward or re-post this note including to
    DCU members without network access.

    
    When/where will your petition be available?  I will sign it.
    Your notes have been very reasonable, considered, and show some
    common sense.  IMO, that alone qualifies you.

    So far people in TAY, SCA and COP have asked for petitions to
    circulate. I will be sending them out (USPS rather than interoffice)
    today or tomorrow morning. Other people who offer will be sent
    petitions as they ask.

ZKO is set to do a Multi petition sitout in the Caf
for folks who decide to run, by petition.    THis will
even give people "choices" ( }8-)} ) when evaluating
petition candidates.

    I'll be doing the same thing as .3 at LJO (multi-petition signings).

Alfred,

Who in COP has your petition?

Dave

    For all DCU members in the Washington DC area.  I will be in Nashua
    next week, and I am planning to attend the petition meeting Tuesday
    night.  I intend to have petitions for all candidates (or atleast as
    many as are provided to me) for the BOD.
    
    I work at COP, third floor, and I will do what I can to get forms to
    DCO, MEL, DER, BJO, VFO, WNP, WDC, and any other offices in the area
    that I can think of.  Now, if anyone in those offices care to spearhead
    themselves, all the better.
    
    Mark
    
    I will be out of the office all next week, but back in COP Feb 3,
    petitions in hand, if at all possible.

	Well, I'm on the ballot. I'm fine tuning my 150 words and locating
	a B & W "banker look" picture. Thanks very much to all those who
	collected signatures and who signed my petitions.

			Alfred

    Well, the counting is done and the results are in. I didn't make the
    cut but that's ok. The team won. Thanks very much to all those who 
    voted for me, worked to collect signatures and asked their friends
    to vote for me. 

    		Alfred

    And thanks, Alfred, for being one of the voices of sanity throughout
    this whole process.
