Dear Members
It is proposed that this year’s Annual General Meeting will take place on Tuesday 17th December 2013.
Traditionally, any member wishing to go forward for election to either the Board of Directors or the Supervisory Committee, now the Board Oversight Committee, would submit the Nominations Form contained in the Annual Report booklet in advance of the meeting.
However, new legislation has changed this process.
Following enactment of the Credit Union and Co-operation with Overseas Regulators Act 2012, all members wishing to go forward for election must first meet with new Fitness and Probity standards.
Detailed descriptions of the role and functions of the board and oversight committee are outlined in the Credit Union and Co-operation with Overseas Regulators Act 2012, Sections 15 – 27.
Full information in relation to fitness and probity for credit unions can be found on the following website:

If you intend to stand for election and meet Fitness and Probity requirements, please apply by Friday 15th November 2013 by emailing nomination.committee@straphaelscu.ie
The Nomination Committee, SRGCU
