This year, we will be hosting the meeting via Zoom, providing a convenient and accessible platform for all our members to participate from the comfort of their own homes or offices.
During the meeting, we will cover a variety of important topics to keep our members informed and engaged. This includes announcing the results of the board elections, presenting the president's report on the organization's achievements and future plans, delivering the financial report to provide transparency on our fiscal health, sharing insights from the supervisory committee report, and recognizing the dedication and hard work of our staff through service awards for years of commitment.
Each year, three boards of directors are up for election. Unlike other financial institutions, the membership elects the nine-member board for Ozark FCU.
The Board of Directors has nominated three incumbents with expiring terms who have agreed to run again. The three incumbents are:
Charles Hicks– Mr. Hicks has served on the board since 2006. He is the owner and operator of Hicks Service Company for 20 years, serving all of Southeast Missouri. His knowledge and experience make his leadership an asset to the institution while representing our membership.
Tony Pursell– Mr. Pursell has served on the board since 2013. He retired from the John J Pershing VA Medical Center, where he served in the IT Department for many years. Mr. Pursell has strong ties to Stoddard and Butler counties, representing our eastern area while sharing his extensive knowledge and IT training; he has become an invaluable asset to the institution.
Marcus Sowell– Mr. Sowell was elected to the board in 2018. He is a lifelong Butler County resident with many years of management and building maintenance experience. Mr. Sowell is an active community member who brings much organizational knowledge and insight into the membership's multi-generational needs.
