March 16, 2020
On March 16, the Minnesota Commerce Department issued guidance for credit unions considering delaying or rescheduling their annual meetings because of Covid-19. The Department instructs credit unions to consult their bylaws for requirements on meeting timing, noting that Bylaws adopted prior to 2018 will require that annual meetings be scheduled prior to May 31. The guidance continues to instruct credit unions to provide as much notice as possible to members regarding date changes as possible and to notify the Department if a decision to reschedule must be made in the best interests of members and employees that does not comply with bylaws.
