Committees

Supervisory Committee
The Supervisory Committee monitors compliance with laws and regulations and assures that internal controls are adequate through the internal audit function. This provides the check on financial and operational matters necessary to ensure that Credit Union activities are conducted in the best interest of the overall membership and towards the goals for which CFCU was organized. The committee acts as an oversight body and a line of communication for reporting fraud and unethical behavior, on behalf of CFCU’s Board of Directors. The committee is composed of volunteer members who have been appointed by the Board of Directors.

Supervisory Committee members are:
Blixy Taetzsch, Chairman
Brian Oursler, Secretary
A. Neal Geller, Member

The code of ethics requires that any member who suspects there has been a violation of Corporate Policy, laws or regulations, or general business ethics should report their suspicion. We urge you to contact our Supervisory Committee personally by writing to the address below. All mail is strictly confidential. You do not have to identify yourself, but it is important that you provide enough information and/or documentation to allow the committee to investigate your concern. If you wish to be informed of the results of the investigation, please let us know how we can contact you (i.e.: home phone, work phone, offsite in person). If you choose not to provide your name or contact information, the Supervisory Committee cannot inform you of the results and cannot discuss your concern with you.
