As an “esteemed son of the soil” whose experience is wide and varied, we followed your career as a High Court Judge over the years and are of the view that you have demonstrated good human character, firmness and dedication in what you do. Your experience and distinguished qualifications are undoubtedly key features of your worthy nomination to serve as President of our twin-island state.
We feel that your vast experience at both the national and international levels in the practice of jurisprudence would redound to the benefit of Trinidad and Tobago and will make an indelible impression on the hearts and minds of our people. It has the potential to steer our nation to greater heights in the realm of national governance and quality leadership.
As you prepare to assume office, we look forward to officially welcoming you and also to the continuation of a well established mutually rewarding relationship with both our offices and membership.
Credit Unions are well known for their outstanding dedication to the underserved in our society for over sixty-five years and have been experiencing rapid growth and expansion over the years. The universal motto of Credit Unions is “Not for Profit, Not for Charity but for Service”. Credit Unions and other co-operatives are established for the purpose of an identified service or set of services to their shareholders. They are not formed to generate profit for their shareholders nor are they formed to provide charity to any of the shareholders. Credit Unions are formed to provide the best financial services to their members. The lowest possible rates will be charged on loans and the highest possible rates will be paid to savers. People form co-operatives to obtain better services at better prices (as customers/shareholders) than they would have received from profit driven commercial enterprises where they are merely treated as consumers only.
