GPSCCU Annual Report 2013
Sis. St. Bernard presented the Nominations Committee’s Report which outlined the vacancies as follows:
1. Board of Directors
There were four (4) vacancies to be filled with two of the incumbents completing their second terms of office and
therefore being ineligible for re-election. There was one vacancy to fill the remaining term of one member who
had resigned.
2. Supervisory Committee
There were two vacancies to be filled. The incumbents were completing their second terms of office and were
therefore ineligible for re-election.
3. Credit Committee
No vacancies to be filled. The committee was not fully rotated following the passage of the new co-operative
societies act, thus an anomaly exists.
The Nominees to fill the positions were:
Board of Directors
Bro. Phillip Telesford
Sis. Annette Henry
Bro. Ernie James
Sis. Venita Alexander-Thomas
Supervisory Committee
Sis. Karel Hood
Sis. Merina Jessamy
Nominations were then invited from the floor.
Bro. Duane Noel was nominated to serve on the Board of Directors by himself and seconded by Bro. Che
Cummings.
A motion that the nominations for Board of Directors be closed was moved by Bro. Learie Barrie, seconded by Sis.
Meryl Lord and carried.
94
There were no nominations from the floor for the Supervisory and Compliance Committee and the nominations
made by the Nominating Committee carried on a motion moved by Sis. Merryl Phillip-Sylvester and seconded by
Bro. Justin Hazzard.
Elections then ensued by secret ballots for the positions on the Board of Directors.
The chairman informed that the counting of the ballots would take place separately to the back of the room in the
presence of the internal auditor, Bro. Chad Hyson and the representative from PKF. He invited any member wishing
to do so to witness the counting at the back and continued the meeting.
