Any eligible member of the Credit Union is entitled to seek membership of the Board of Directors or of the Board Oversight Committee.
The provisions of the Credit Union Act 1997 (as amended) state that all candidates for the Board of Directors/Board Oversight Committee must be proposed through the Nomination Committee: no person can put themselves directly forward for election at the AGM. Under the Fitness and Probity Regime set out in the Central Bank Reform Act 2010, the Nomination Committee has primary responsibility for ensuring that members with the necessary skills and experience are available to fill vacancies that arise on the Board of Directors and the Board Oversight Committee. The Nomination Committee is also responsible for accepting nominations, carrying out due diligence under the Fitness & Probity Regime and making proposals of suitable candidates for election.
