State Regulator Suppresses Member Insurrection

Iowa's superintendent of credit unions, JoAnn Johnson (the former Chairman of NCUA), has invalidated a board and management shake-up at Family Community Credit Union in Charles City.

At an annual meeting of the Family Community Credit Union, members voted to dismiss the board of directors, to suspend CEO Dawn Swaningson, to reinstate staff members who had quit in protest of their treatment by Swaningson, and to appoint a new board and CEO.

But JoAnn Johnson wrote the members that their actions "were not in compliance with the bylaws of the credit union, or with the Iowa Credit Union Act."

I suspect that this is not the end of the story.

Read the story.
