GRAND RAPIDS, MI (June 19, 2014) -- CU*Answers, a 100% credit union-owned Cooperative, announced today that two credit union CEOs had been confirmed by their peers to serve another three-year term on the CUSO’s Board of Directors. Vickie Schmitzer, CEO of Frankenmuth CU in Frankenmuth, Michigan; and Dean Wilson, CEO of FOCUS Credit Union in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, both incumbents, were re-elected at the CU*Answers 2014 Annual Stockholders Meeting held on Wednesday, June 18th at the J.W. Marriott Hotel in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Although this year’s election was uncontested, the candidates were still eager to confirm to the owners their commitment to the CUSO’s Board. “Having the opportunity to be a part of the CU*Answers story brings me great pride...knowing that this organization continues to ‘live it’ in the cooperative way,” said Dean Wilson. “I have enjoyed the years of service I have spent on the CU*Answers Board and hope to continue to provide value.” Vickie Schmitzer echoed Dean’s sentiments. “I am committed to the industry and agree that partnerships are essential for success in the future,” she said in her outreach to the owners.
For the second year in a row, candidates were able to post a campaign message on a special election information website, and owners were able to vote electronically as well.
