There are two ways you can get involved – the Board of Directors and the Supervisory Committee

Board of Directors

The current Board has 9 directors and can have up to 15.
The Board has the overall responsibility for managing the affairs of the Credit Union and members normally meet monthly and give approximately one and a half to 2 hours per month of their time. The Board would like to see BDCU have a full compliment of 15 directors.

Supervisory Committee

The current Supervisory Committee consists of 3 members and can have up to 5, and the current committee elect would like to see another 2 members volunteer to join the committee.
The Supervisory Committee has responsibility for auditing and monitoring BDCU Policies and Procedures and members normally meet monthly and give approximately 1 hour per month of their time.

If you are interested in either roles, why not get in touch or speak to one of the directors. In house training will be provided.

In April 2010 The Equality Act came into being, this was new legislation introduced by the government which aims to prevent discrimination. Part of this new legislation requires all public bodies to collect certain information about the people that use their services. This new standardised approach to equality monitoring applies to all public bodies throughout the UK, this includes local authorities, the NHS, Universities and us.

Complying with the requirements of the Equality Act is a condition of many kinds of funding, for example the funding we received form Bradford Council last year which we used for development and also to help us to see if there are any groups out there that might need more support to join and benefit from BDCU services.

From October 1st 2011 we have been routinely asking for this information from new members as they join. Under the legislation everyone has the right to refuse to answer which is perfectly fine, as long as the question has been asked.

A buffet lunch will be provided, and it will be helpful to have an idea of numbers attending. We would be grateful if you could email us or let the office know by phone on 01274 434100.

Thanks, and we look forward to seeing you there.
