Corporate Lawsuits Against Cheney May Become a Movement Nightmare

In the May 12 issue I read that Bill Cheney has been selected to become president/CEO of CUNA. In the next paragraph is his career, including service in two credit unions and the California-Nevada CU League. However, he was also on the board of directors of two corporate credit unions. He has been named in two civil lawsuits in connection with his tenure on those boards. One suit charging securities fraud will be tried in federal court in Alabama. The other suit will be on trial in California state court. That case accuses the directors of negligence and breach of fiduciary responsibility. Cheney is named a defendant in both cases as a director.
