FHLBank Topeka Distributes Director Election Ballots
September 19, 2014
FHLBank Topeka distributed director election ballots to each of the members in its district eligible to vote in the election. Information regarding the ballots was emailed from noreply@directvote.net and contained each member’s user name and password to enter the online voting system. All eligible members will have the opportunity to vote in the independent director election.
Those members in Nebraska and Oklahoma will also be eligible to vote in the member director election. The election for independent directors requires that nominees receive a minimum of 20% of all eligible votes from the entire FHLBank membership. As leaders in your community, we hope you will let your voice be heard by exercising your right to vote for FHLBank’s independent directors – If we don’t receive the required 20% of all eligible votes, a new election will need to be held.
Also on Sept. 19, 2014, FHLBank filed a Form 8-K with the SEC announcing that one member director was deemed elected to FHLBank’s board of directors. FHLBank members in Kansas were notified that Mark W. Schifferdecker, President and CEO of The Girard National Bank in Girard, Kansas, was deemed elected as a member director by FHLBank for a four-year term commencing Jan. 1, 2015, and expiring Dec. 31, 2018. You can find FHLBank’s Form 8-K here. Please join us in congratulating Mr. Schifferdecker on his election to FHLBank’s board of directors and remember to vote in the independent director election.
