The International Credit Union Regulators’ Network was formed in 2007 during the 5th annual Credit Union Regulators’ Roundtable. The purpose of the Network is to share information and ideas on topics of common interest among credit unions and financial cooperative supervisors and to undertake research on specific issues or topics related to financial cooperatives and their oversight.

Membership in the International Credit Union Regulators’ Network is open to all entities that have statutory supervisory authority for credit unions and financial cooperatives in their respective jurisdictions. Each member of the network will contribute US$200 to join and pay a nominal conference fee to help cover the cost of hosting the annual Regulators’ Roundtable meeting.

A steering committee of representatives from seven regions across the world leads the Network and WOCCU serves as the Secretariat. The steering committee’s role is to help coordinate the network and to assist WOCCU in organizing the annual Regulators’ Roundtable.

The steering committee representatives serving the 2007-2008 term are:

• Africa: Fredrick Odhiamba, Kenyan Ministry of Co-operative Development and Marketing
• Asia/Pacific: Brandon Khoo, Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority
• Canada: Andy Poprawa, Deposit Insurance Corporation of Ontario
• Eastern Europe: Wictor Kaminski, NACSCU, Poland
• Latin America/Caribbean: Neri Matus, Central Bank of Belize
