GRAND RAPIDS, MI (September 13, 2013) -- Randy Karnes, CU*Answers CEO, has officially thrown in his hat for a seat on the board of the National Cooperative Business Association CLUSA International. Following an announcement from NCBA CLUSA calling for candidates, Karnes submitted his request for consideration.
Said Karnes in his letter, “As a data processing cooperative...our national efforts are intended to encourage more credit unions to value their charters as financial cooperatives, and to get involved with the NCBA to expand the power of both credit unions and CUSOs,” said Karnes. “I would like to add our voice to the NCBA and our firm’s technical capabilities to spreading the word. I believe I can bring a new perspective and new audience to the NCBA as a board member.”
According to their website, NCBA CLUSA is the nation’s oldest and largest national membership association representing cooperatives of all types and in all industries, and, like CU*Answers, operates according to internationally recognized cooperative principles.
The election will be held electronically beginning later this month and results will be announced at the organization’s Annual Business Meeting on November 12, 2013.
