The board of directors for the League of SoutheasternCredit Unions postponed taking any action last week on CUNA’scontroversial decision to keep dual membership.

After meeting in Point Clear, Ala. for a planning retreat, theboard discussed the issue at length and decided to survey theleague’s member credit unions, Patrick LaPine, president/CEO of the Southeastern league, saidMonday.

“The LSCU believes that in keeping with the recommendation andunderlying rationale of the CUNA Structure and Governance TaskForce Report, which acknowledged that state leagues should considerand act on direct league membership, while CUNA should consider thesame, the LSCU board has directed management to conduct a survey ofAlabama and Florida credit unions on this issue of membershipchoice and reconvene later this month to review the results of thesurvey and make a final decision (if any) on this issue,” LaPinewrote in his weekly column in the league’s newsletter eSignalDaily.
