MESSAGE FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF CO-OPERATIVES
& FRIENDLY SOCIETIES
 (MINISTRY OF INDUSTRY, INVESTMENT AND COMMERCE)
 

The year 2007 is a significant reference point in the life of City of Kingston Co-operative Credit Union Limited (COK), a giant in the Co-operative Movement. The 40th Anniversary Celebration has been celebrated with a series of events including public forum, banquet, and awards ceremony for volunteers and staff who have given stalwart services to the Credit Union for ten (10) years and more.

As we come to the closure of the celebration let me hope that the creativity in the services and the excellent marketing strategies of COK has allowed many or our eligible citizens to have embraced the Credit Union as their “One Stop Financial Institution”.

Let me reinforce as stated in my 40th Anniversary Message to the 2006 Annual General Meeting. The Management and staff must equip themselves to undertake the challenges to function with increased efficiency and effectiveness within the new paradigm, international, regional and national trends, whilst being cognizant of the proposed Bank of Jamaica Credit Unions’ Regulations.

I implore members, volunteers, management and staff to bask in the glory of the accolades bestowed on COK at this time, and use the positive energy so generated to enhance their strategic vision as they chart the course of the Credit Union for another 40 years. May COK continue to be the trailblazer of the Movement in transforming itself to enhance the profile and fulfillment of expectations within the Sector.

Congratulation COK for all your achievements.
