BACKGROUND
State Employees Credit Union is a member-owned, not-for-profit cooperative financial institution
formed to promote thrift among its members, provide a source of credit at fair and reasonable rates,
and assist its members in improving their economic and social condition. The leadership of the
organization relies heavily on volunteers to provide direction and ensure sound operation.
Volunteers serve the Credit Union through Advisory Boards, Member Loan Review Committees, the
Board of Directors, and The State Employees Credit Union Foundation Board. Currently close to
3,000 members serve on the various committees or Boards, all without compensation.
The Board of Directors consists of 11 members, all of whom must be members in good standing
with SECU. Regular terms of office are for periods of three years, unless a Director is elected to
serve out an unexpired term, or is appointed by the Board to fill a vacant Director position until the
next annual meeting. The terms are staggered such that each year at least three or four Directors
seats are presented to the membership for election.
Because of the frequency and length of Board and committee meetings, members serving on the
Board must be available at the core administrative offices in Raleigh at least monthly. The Board
meets monthly on the 4th Tuesday for several hours. Board members must also attend numerous
committee meetings and events around the state throughout the year, as well as two annual off-
site meetings spanning three days each. Additionally, Board members serve a dual duty as members
of the Foundation Board, which also presents a significant meeting and decisional schedule. The
press of business and difficulty of subject matter, combined with the fact that these are unpaid
positions, make the decision about serving a serious one. That said, the gratification that comes
from working with loyal SECU employees to serve both our members and the larger population of
North Carolina is commensurate with this required commitment and effort for those who bring their
time and talent to the considerable work of the Board.
SECU utilizes a rigorous Application and a Nominating Committee as the primary means to identify,
screen, and recruit members who are willing to serve on the Board. Because of the significant
responsibility of a Director and the learning curve involved in becoming effective in this position,
most Directors serve for multiple terms. Nationally, the average tenure of a credit union board
member is about 12 years. There is a great benefit both in having seasoned Directors and in having
new members bring fresh skill-sets and ideas to the Board. It is the role of the Nominating
Committee to help balance those essential competing benefits. Nominating Committees often
focus on member-applicants who can fill certain voids in the current Board, such as state agency
representation, demographics, specific skill-sets, and other criteria. If they have represented the
membership well and performed their duties at or above an acceptable standard, incumbent
Directors are typically nominated for additional terms.
Historically, most Directors have been nominated and elected as a result of the slate placed before
the membership by the Nominating Committee. However, the Bylaws also allow for nominations
to be made by petition through policies and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors.
2
Members have an opportunity to learn more about Board candidates prior to the election, both in
on-line communications and at the branches. Voting can take place through an absentee ballot
(cast at an SECU branch or sent in and received during the scheduled voting period) or at the Annual
Meeting.
This document summarizes the policies and procedures relative to the Director election process and
supplies the required forms which should be submitted if a member is interested in being
considered for a Director position. A Board of Director position description is included to explain
the requirements of the position.
Thank you for your interest in this process.

ELECTION POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
IN-PERSON ELECTIONS; NOMINATING COMMITTEE AND SELF-NOMINATIONS; AND ABSENTEE BALLOTS
The Board will follow the following procedures in developing candidates for Board of Director
vacancies, receiving nominations, and conducting the election at the annual meeting.
1. Nominating Committee. At least 120 days prior to each annual meeting, the Chair will appoint
a Nominating Committee, recommended to be not less than three members, to screen
candidates and recommend nominees.
2. Candidate Information. Interested candidates should complete a Director Candidate
Questionnaire, Certification Form, and Notification and Authorization Form for Employment
Consumer Report (together, a “Candidate Package”) and submit them to SECU for forwarding
to the Chairman of the Nominating Committee per the current year Election Procedures
Schedule.
3. Change in Election Procedure. In any year the Board modifies its election procedures, proper
notice will be provided to all members at least 180 days prior to the election. Such notice will
indicate that the Board has modified its election procedures and disclose the change in
procedures. The notice will be published in SECU branches and posted on the website,
NCSECU.org.
4. Nominations Process. The Nominating Committee will nominate one member for each vacancy,
including any unexpired term vacancy, for which elections are being held. The Nominating
Committee will collect and review background information on candidates considered, including
those who have expressed interest by submitting to SECU a Candidate Package. The Nominating
Committee may choose to meet with any potential candidates. The Nominating Committee
must confirm that nominees are (i) eligible to hold a director position (member in good standing
with the Credit Union, aged 18 years or older, and having the necessary skills and capabilities),
and (ii) agreeable to having their name placed in nomination, and (iii) willing and able to serve,
if elected.
5. Filing of Committee Nominations. The Nominating Committee will file its nominations with the
Secretary of the Credit Union, or his or her designee, at least 60 days prior to the Annual
Meeting.
6. Self-nominations. Self-nominations can be made only by those who sought, but did not receive,
nomination by the Nomination Committee. For a self-nomination to be valid and be included
on the ballot, the member must timely submit to SECU a completed and, where applicable,
properly signed (i) Candidate Package, and (ii) Official Nominating Petition for State Employees’
Credit Union Board of Directors with at least 500 valid signatures from members aged 16 years
and older with requested evidence confirming membership in SECU. Such forms must be
received by the Secretary of the Credit Union, or his or her designee, by the required date in the
current year Election Procedures Schedule. Self-nominations received after the required date
are invalid and will not be accepted; such candidates will not appear on the ballot.
6
7. Announcement of Nominees. Valid self-nominations along with those of the Nominating
Committee will be posted in Credit Union offices at least 45 days prior to the annual meeting
and in selected local newspapers across the state, and on SECU’s website, NCSECU.org. If there
are more candidates on the ballot than vacancies to be filled, a brief statement of background
of each nominee will be posted and/or made available to any member upon request and along
with the ballot for voting.
8. Absentee Voting. If there are more candidates on the ballot than vacancies to be filled and a
member is unable to attend the Annual Meeting, the member may cast an absentee vote.
Absentee votes may be cast in any SECU branch location during the Election Period, as noted on
the current year Election Procedure Schedule. If a member is unable to vote in an SECU branch
location, the member may obtain and send in an absentee ballot. Such ballots may be requested
by writing the Secretary of the Credit Union, or his or her designee, and completing an Absentee
Ballot Request Form. Absentee Ballots must be received by the Credit Union by the date noted
on the current year Election Procedure Schedule. Tellers appointed by the Board Chair will
tabulate the absentee ballots prior to the Annual Meeting. If there is only one validly nominated
candidate for each position to be filled, no absentee voting will be held.
9. Annual Meeting Voting. If there are more candidates on the ballot than vacancies to be filled,
the names of all persons nominated by the Nominating Committee and any who validly self-
nominated per the Election Procedures will be placed before the membership. Tellers will be
appointed by the Board Chair, ballots will be distributed, and the vote will be taken and tallied
by the tellers. That tally will be added to the absentee ballot preliminary results and the final
results will be announced. All elections are determined by majority vote of votes cast and will
be by ballot, except when there is only one candidate for each position to be filled. If there is
only one validly nominated candidate for each position to be filled, the Chair may take a voice
vote or declare each nominee elected by general consent or acclamation at the Annual Meeting.
In the event the Annual Meeting is held virtually, virtual voting may be available.
10. Floor Nominations. Because these policies and procedures provide for nomination by petition
from the membership in lieu of nominations from the floor, nominations will not be allowed
from the floor.
11. Voting Eligibility. Only members aged 16 years and older may cast a ballot. Each eligible
member may cast only one ballot per election year.
12. Tabulation. When tabulating the ballots, tellers shall count any votes on undervote ballots
(ballots where the number of choices selected by the member on the ballot is less than the
number of vacancies to be filled), but discard all votes on overvote ballots (ballots where the
number of choices selected by the member on the ballot is more than the number of vacancies
to be filled).
