432.0. "Tanya Dawkins - running for BOD" by DZIGN::DAWKINS () Mon Jan 27 1992 15:04

	I would like to announce that I will also run by petition 
        for the DCU BOD.  I think the most important effort facing
	the new Board will be to re-establish its integrity and
	to regain the confidence of all DCU members that the Board 
        is elected to serve member needs.  

        I believe one of the Board's primary responsibilities is to 
        openly communicate with its members regarding the soundness 
        of its investments, its policy-setting ideas, and plans 
        for future direction.  In this respect, I think the current 
        BOD is lacking and that the nominating committee has again 
        reduced our "choices" by only putting nine people on the 
        official ballot for seven open seats.  I will work hard to
        improve both the quality and openess of all DCU communications.

	My past experience as a Commercial Bank Examiner in Texas 
	uniquely qualifies me for DCU Board member duties and
        responsibilities.  In that capacity, I regulated banks
	with assets ranging from $4 million to $1 billion with 
	responsiblity for loan review, auditing, and operations
	analysis.  I was in charge of evaluating the banks' asset
	quality, liquidity, and capital adequacy, as well as 
	determining the competence and integrity of management.  
        
	I have also worked for a large bank holding company (65-member 
        banks) where I was responsible for leading asset reviews, 
        supervising a team of analysts and writing reports addressing 
        asset quality and credit management. 
	
        In summary, I believe I can make a positive contribution to
	the DCU Board.  If you have any specific questions, feel
	free to contact me via VAXmail at DZIGN::DAWKINS or at home
	(617) 894-8760.

	Permission is granted to forward this note to any Digital
	employee or DCU member.
