Reminder! VSEA Board Voted Against VSECU & NEFCU Merger

With ballots being prepared to be sent out, a reminder that the VSEA Board of Trustees voted months ago to oppose the merger of the Vermont State Employees Credit Union and the New England Federal Credit Union.

The Board is encouraging VSEA VSECU members and retirees to oppose the merger and vote “no.”

Longtime VSEA members and retirees will remember that the VSECU was started by state employees, for state employees.
