A member owned association

Just like its member credit unions, ABCUL is owned by its members

ABCUL is a co-operative association governed by a Board of Directors who are elected by members.

The Board then elects its chosen officers, such as the president, vice president, treasurer and secretary from members of the Board.  The Board also appoints a CEO to run the Association on a day-to-day basis. Members of the Association elect a Supervisory Committee and a Standing Orders Committee to fulfil specific functions.

As a co-operative organisation ABCUL puts the needs of members at the forefront of its service and seeks to represent them at all times. To achieve this ABCUL believes that communication with member credit unions is an essential part of the service it offers.

Member credit unions ensure their views are heard through channels such as:

• annual general meetings
• regional chapters
• conferences and seminars
• consultations and briefings
• live and online forums
