I am not sure that I can make it to the meeting, but to make sure please count my vote as: YES to switch away from IAFCU.<br>

I might be able to show up online if need be. I'm still much too sick and going through trauma to actually be in the space, though.<br>

CCL is using WFCU as well. Seems OK - no particularly bad or good experiences to report. Only drawback is that they don't have all that many branches, and<br>
you usually have to do major account changes in person at the branch (downtown Oakland is probably closest for us).<br>
I should be there this evening, but if not, I vote strongly in favor of switching away from IAFCU, and lukewarm in favor of switching to WFCU...<br>

Hey all,<br>
Sudo did a straw poll last week to get the ball moving on this, but need quorum to come to a decision about switching banks. It doesn't seem too<br>
controversial to me, there aren't that many options anyway.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Meeting_Notes_2015-12-09#Move_to_Western_Federal_Credit_Union" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Meeting_Notes_2015-12-09#Move_to_Western_Federal_Credit_Union</a><br>
<br>
Long and short of it is that sudo's current credit union, Internet Archive Federal Credit Union (IAFCU) is struggling to stay open. The credit union<br>
members took a vote that was due Dec 8th about whether or not to liquidate the credit union. Sudo Room did not vote on behalf of its membership, but the<br>
evidence is pretty convincing that this is a failed experiment and it's time to reorganize and try new things:<br>
<br>

<br>
Western Federal Credit Union, is large, stable, now supports quickbooks, and is where Omni Commons holds its main account currently, making payments very<br>
efficient. It seems like a no-brainer, and I personally have not found any more appealing options. For instance, Bank of the West is closing its Temescal<br>
branch location, part of long-term closures, so there is no obviously close credit union to our current location at 4799 Shattuck. <br>
<br>
Finally, it'd simply be nice to see your faces at sudo tonight, just to say hi and catch up, possibly before some of us go out of town for holidays, etc.<br>
