In accordance with the BMI Federal Credit Union bylaws, each year a Nominating
Committee recommends a slate of candidates to fill all Board of Directors openings. The
Committee interviews qualified candidates and all selected nominees must be willing to
unselfishly volunteer their time and talent. BMI Federal Credit Union Directors will meet an
average of two times per month, without pay, for Board and Committee meetings. This
year, there are three open positions serving a term of three years and one open position
serving a two year term.
Board of Directors Election
Nominations for the Board of
Directors may also be made by
petition. The petition containing the
signatures and account numbers
of a minimum of 1% of the total
membership must be submitted to
the BMI FCU Board Secretary by
January 14, 2013. Written statement
of qualifications, biographical
information, and statement of
willingness to serve if elected must
accompany the nominee’s petition.
If there is one nominee for each
position to be filled and no
nominations by petition are received,
the Committee’s nominee will be
declared elected. Therefore, no mail
ballot will be mailed. Completed
ballots are sent to an independent
election teller. Election results will
be announced by the Board Chair at
the BMI Federal Credit Union Annual
Business Meeting on March 20, 2013.
