[sudo-discuss] [!] Need Qurorum @ tonight's meeting to Change Banks for Sudo

Hey all, 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 controversial to me, there aren't that many options anyway. https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Meeting_Notes_2015-12-09#Move_to_Western_Federal_… 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 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 evidence is pretty convincing that this is a failed experiment and it's time to reorganize and try new things: https://blog.archive.org/2015/11/24/difficult-times-at-our-credit-union/ Western Federal Credit Union, is large, stable, now supports quickbooks, and is where Omni Commons holds its main account currently, making payments very 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 branch location, part of long-term closures, so there is no obviously close credit union to our current location at 4799 Shattuck. 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. // Matt
