At a recent Executive Committee meeting of the National Supervisors Forum (NSF), it was unanimously agreed that John Higgins, Vice Chairperson, would be elected as Chairperson
following Mr. Joe Tobin’s stepping down, due to being elected to the Irish League of Credit Unions Supervisors committee.
Mr. Higgins brings a wealth of experience to the role from both his tenure as Chair of Enniscorthy Credit Union Board Oversight Committee and his dedicated service on the NSF
Executive Committee. A passionate advocate for governance excellence in the credit union and corporate sectors, John has been instrumental in shaping the strategic direction of the
NSF.
Accepting the role, John remarked: “I’m grateful for the trust that has been placed in me as the new NSF Chairperson. I recognise the significant shoes I have to fill following Joe’s direction and leadership. I look forward to continuing to work with my fellow Executive Committee members on our shared goals for the NSF and the Credit Union Sector.“
The NSF Executive Committee extends heartfelt thanks to Mr. Tobin, whose leadership has helped enhance and strengthen governance practice across the Credit Union Movement.
Under Mr. Higgins’s stewardship, the National Supervisors Forum will remain committed to:
- Enhancing governance, in all its dimensions, across Board Oversight and Supervisory Committees.
- Delivering specialist Training Workshops and Events.
- Supporting Credit Unions across the island of Ireland to deliver robust and sustained community-based financial services.
- Building meaningful liaisons and networks with the Regulatory and Representative Bodies throughout the sectors.
