This was mainly due to members’ existing debt level being too high or the risk the Credit Union being too high. We again remind members that there is still an on-going global economic crisis and careful planning must be done before undertaking additional debt. This underscores the need for consistent saving and investments in productive assets of which the Credit Union’s Equity Shares is a viable option. 38 Conclusion We thank the Members of the Board, the Supervisory and compliance Committee, the Management and Staff and most importantly the members of this noble institution for the opportunity to serve on the Credit Committee for another year and the support given in doing so. As we look forward to the successes and challenges of 2014, we assure you that the Credit Committee will continue to serve in the most professional manner for the growth and development of our Credit Union.
