WHERE: CSE's Operations Center

An important item of business at the Annual Meeting is the announcement of our Board of Director Election results. As a credit union member, you have a unique opportunity to have your voice heard. CSE is governed by a Board of Directors made up of 11 credit union members. These Board members are elected by all of you, the membership, and serve in a volunteer capacity. That democratically elected, volunteer leadership is one of the key differences between credit unions and other for-profit financial institutions.
In 2026, there are four (4) positions open for election to the Board of Directors. The Nominating Committee, appointed by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, has nominated nine (9) candidates for the open Board positions to be filled.
The candidates nominated by the Committee with individual candidate statements, listed in alphabetical order by last name, are as follows:

I am deeply invested in the well-being of the community I call home. As a lifetime resident of Stark County and Jackson Township, a thriving small-business owner and active community volunteer, I understand the importance of financial empowerment, accessible services, and member-first values.

Stanley Gilreath

I am writing to express my interest in serving on the Board of Directors for CSE Federal Credit Union. Having spent most of my professional and personal life in Stark County, I value CSE’s role in supporting our local community and believe my leadership experience and financial background would add value to the organization and its members.
I retired as Regional Vice President of Nationwide Financial Services after a 40-year career in insurance and financial services leadership. In that role, I was responsible for achieving national financial services goals within Nationwide’s Exclusive Agency distribution channel, reporting directly to senior leadership and overseeing regional sales directors to ensure consistent life insurance and annuity performance.
My credentials included Series 7, 24, and 66 licenses, along with life and variable annuity registrations. I also served as an Office of Supervisory Jurisdiction (OSJ) Branch for Nationwide Securities LLC, providing compliance oversight and serving on the broker-dealer conduct committee to ensure adherence to FINRA and SEC standards.
Following retirement, I launched and operated a local small business, The Joint Chiropractic, for six years and am currently in the process of selling the business. This experience strengthened my understanding of entrepreneurship, small-business finance, and local economic conditions.
I remain active in the community through the Canton Regional Chamber of Commerce and the Stark County Farm Bureau. I would be honored to support CSE’s mission and welcome the opportunity to discuss my interest further.
