Members boycott forces cancellation of planned GPSCCU meeting

Ballot Boxes- Seemingly prepared to hold elections yesterday, ballot boxes were placed at the venue.

The Guyana Public Service Co-operative Credit Union (GPSCCU) Interim Management Committee was yesterday forced to dissolve its planned General Meeting after a dismal turnout of members led to a lack of a quorum. 

“This meeting convened on 8hrs and dissolved at 9:10 hours today October, 24th 2022, for lack of quorum,” Chairman and head of the Committee, Karen Van Sluytman-Corbin told members at the Central High School, being the venue of the meeting. Union Secretary, Gillian Pollard, reported that as of 2020, the GPSCCU had 23,033 members and that a quorum required for the meeting to proceed, 5728 members needed to be present. Pollard reported that 53 persons had registered at the location and 96 online. “At this time, Madam Chair, our online registration amounts to 96 and our in-person registration amounts to 53,” she said.
