Director

Credit Union Deposit Guarantee Corporation (the Corporation) is the deposit guarantor and primary regulator for Saskatchewan provincially regulated credit unions and SaskCentral (together, Provincially Regulated Financial Institutions or PRFIs). The Corporation instills confidence in the province’s credit union system with a mandate of:

• guaranteeing the repayment of deposits in Saskatchewan credit unions
• establishing regulatory standards and ensuring PRFIs are performing to those standards
• promoting responsible governance by PRFIs, and contributing to the strength and stability of the credit union system
• directing PRFIs to take action on material deficiencies, and any issue that may put depositors’ funds at risk
• maintaining and managing a guarantee fund in a sound and prudent manner

The selection committee is now seeking candidates for the Corporation’s board of directors. The board is responsible for the governance of the Corporation and is responsible for providing oversight, strategic direction, planning and vision, and developing and implementing corporate policy.

The committee will assess the candidates against the competency-based needs of the board. Board members are selected based on the particular skill set/expertise currently needed to support the board. By implementing a competency-based approach, the Corporation is able to make effective use of intellectual capital in the decision-making processes.

Qualifications

The ideal candidate will meet the competencies identified by the board and have a combination of diverse skills, knowledge, experience, education and personal attributes.
