What is the LPECCUL AGM?
The AGM (Annual General Meeting) is one of the most important moments in the life of our Credit Union. It is where members come together to review the past year, shape the year ahead, and exercise their voice in how LPECCUL is governed.
As a true co-operative, we are owned by our members. The AGM is your opportunity to see how your Credit Union is performing, ask questions, and take part in decisions that affect our future.
