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$250 (US$100 for developing countries) 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 several 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 2010 term are:

• Africa: Maphamoli Lekoetje, Department of Cooperatives, Lesotho
• Asia/Pacific: Brandon Khoo, Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority, Australia
  
• Canada: Andy Poprawa, Deposit Insurance Corporation of Ontario, Canada
