Western Corporate Federal Credit Union defendants sued by seven mid-sized credit union members include the seized institution's entire board of directors and supervisory committee, which held volunteer positions at the time of WesCorp's conservatorship, as well as two volunteers who had already left the board.
Robert H. Harvey Jr., James P. Jordan, Timothy Kramer, Adam Denbo, Diana R. Dykstra, Wayne Hope, Robin J. Lentz, Susanne Longson, John M. Merlo, Warren Nakamura, Brian Osberg, David Roughton, Darren Williams and Donna Bland were all volunteers dismissed by the NCUA when WesCorp was placed into conservatorship in March 2009 and are listed as defendants.
Also listed as defendants in the suit are Gordon Dames and William Cheney, who were elected to serve three-year terms on the WesCorp board in 2005. Cheney resigned his position when he was hired as CEO of the California Credit Union League in 2006, while Dames served out his term through May 2008.
Other defendants include dismissed executives Robert Siravo and Robert Burrell, as well as former WesCorp employee Jeremy Calva and current employees James Hayes, Laura Cloherty, Jeff Hamilton, Dwight Johnston, Timothy Sidley and David Trinder.
The suit also includes "John Doe" defendants, leaving open the possibility others will be named.
