From Your General Manager
This will be my last “Credo News” to all the wonderful members of Wyong Council Credit
Union Ltd.
After careful consideration I have advised the Board of Directors that I am not renewing my
contract but instead intend to retire in November 2007 to spend time with my family.
Over the past 12 years I have been proud to be the General Manager and assist your Board in
achieving great success for all the members of the Credo.
With the support of your fantastic staff and Directors we have achieved many milestones with
the most recent being the successful conversion to the new banking software.
I leave the Credo knowing I have made a difference but also confident that it is the right time
for a new manager to guide and lead the team forward.
I wish to thank all the past and present Directors and staff as well as all the members for the
trust, support and confidence given to me from the moment I started with the Credo in 1995.
The recruitment process is currently underway and I know you will give the new General
Manager the same support and trust I have been given.
