Update on LSCU/GCUA Strategic Consolidation

LSCU & Affiliates continues to work on final due diligence and drafting the appropriate legal documents on the proposed LSCU-GCUA strategic consolidation.  A roadmap has been developed for Georgia credit unions to vote on the proposed merger, with results expected before the Southeast Credit Union Conference & Expo (SCUCE) being held June 19-21 in Orlando, FL.  Additional information about the event is available at https://www.lscu.coop/conferences/scuce/.

As you may know from the Alabama and Florida Credit Union League consolidation back in 2009, the LSCU is legally domiciled in Alabama.  Unfortunately, Alabama state law does not allow member action on a proposed merger by mail/electronic ballot.  Additionally, the LSCU bylaws do not allow voting by proxy.  Therefore, a consolidation vote will take place at the LSCU Annual Meeting on June 20^th at 3 p.m. ET in Orlando.  The official notice of the meeting will be transmitted to affiliated credit unions 30 days prior to the event.  You do not need to register for SCUCE to attend the Annual Meeting.  If you have not already made plans to attend SCUCE (i.e. travel arrangements, hotel, etc.), please feel free to visit the link above or contact Kate Brady at kate.brady@lscu.coop or 850-558-1060 for assistance.

Additionally, we have expanded our town hall/webinar meeting schedule to provide more opportunities to learn about the proposed consolidation prior to the Annual Meeting in Orlando.  Please contact Kate or click here to RSVP.  Thank you.
