In accordance with the Credit Union’s Rule A4-2, nominations are now invited from members for the position of director. Nomination forms are available by contacting the Returning Officer at the Credit Union’s Head Office. Nominations must be signed by two (2) members as nominators and must be signed by the nominee consenting to the nomination, together with a declaration as to his or her eligibility to be a director in accordance with the Credit Union’s Rule 13.2. Nominees are required to complete all forms necessary to allow testing under APRA’s Fit & Proper guidelines. GMCU operates a skills-based Board and is seeking candidates with skills in Strategy, Marketing and Engagement and Regional Leadership. Nominations will be considered in this context. Successful nominations are eligible to stand for election at the Annual General Meeting.
You cannot be a director of GMCU if you have been convicted of a disqualifying offence as set out in s20 of the Banking Act 1959. To check whether a person has been convicted of a disqualifying offence GMCU will conduct a criminal history check on all candidates with the Australian Federal Police, together with a bankruptcy check and register checks with Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) and Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC). Nominations and Consents must be lodged at a Branch of the Credit Union by 5.00 pm on Tuesday 22 October 2024.
