ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Consultant Stuart Levine picked apart key issues with credit union governance through a series of interactive questions at today's Reality Check conference hosted by the New Jersey Credit Union League.

Levine's first question asked whether credit unions in the audience had a succession plan in place for the board and CEO. Of the credit unions in the audience, 27% said yes, they had both. Nearly half, 47%, responded that they had one but not the other. Fifteen percent of credit unions were working on them, but had nothing in place at the time. Eleven percent simply answered neither.

Next credit unions answered whether they had an appropriate board member criteria selection process in place. Forty-two percent answered yes, while 15% said they were working on it, and another 43% replied no.

One quarter (24%) said they reviewed two out of the three and 13% said they reviewed one of the three.
