(Alan Cameron and Shane Berger, CEO of Beehive Federal Credit Unionexplain their discussions with WOCCU regarding
international credit union development.)
Victor Corro, International Partnerships manager of WOCCU, attended the Idaho Credit Union League's General Annual Meeting in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho on Monday, May 14.
During the Board of Director's dinner, Mr. Corro explained the makings of the International Partnerships program and the different oppotunities available for establishing partnerships between the ICUL and other credit union movements. Alan Cameron, CEO of ICUL, also commented on the new partnership opportunity stating, "The credit unions in Idaho are ready to take the next step and help credit unions overseas." Mr. Cameron continued by complimenting the partnerships program, "We [ICUL] look forward to a long-lasting relationship with WOCCU."
The league is interested in a partnership with the South Pacific Islands where an immediate need exists to strengthen the credit unions and the league there. One of the many benefits to the credit unions would be the possibility of merging which would create a more sustainable model.
As the presentation came to an end, Mr. Corro closed by describing a unique cooperative opportunity between the ICUL, the Solomon Islands and Australia.
