Note: No person shall be elected or appointed to an office in or as an Executive Board member of this Union unless such person has been a member of this Union in continuous good standing for at least the preceding twelve months.
All persons nominated must indicate their acceptance or declination either verbally if present at the membership meeting or in writing within five days after the nomination.
Only Members in Good Standing can be nominated to an Executive Board position.
All positions on the Executive Board are unpaid.
Notice: We did not have a quorum at the summer meeting. For the Union to work on behalf of all of us, it's important that enough people participate that decisions can be made in a legal manner and method. Please, do what you can to attend the meeting and nominate your choices for the above positions.

e of year again. The leaves have turned and begun to fall. The warm days of summer are behind us but winter holidays are still ahead. We've time to begin focusing on those things that didn't catch our attention during the carefree days of summer.
During the last negotiations, a benefit regarding long term disability was agreed on. Right now, during this enrollment period, CUNA Mutual Group members can get a Long Term Disability benefit at a greatly reduced cost. The reason is that, during open enrollment, we can get the 70% LTD on a pre-tax basis. If you do not sign up (I'm young! I'm healthy! I don't even want to think about needing disability insurance!) and find you need the benefit later, it will be subject to underwriting and could be denied at the 70% level.
