The leadership of Barbados’ credit union movement has been blasted as an old boys’ club by a female business executive who is demanding immediate change.
Lynette Holder, the chief executive officer of the Small Business Association and a long-standing credit unionist, told the SUNDAY SUN that in 2014 there was absolutely no reason why the Barbados Cooperative and Credit Union League (BCCUL) board which governs all credits unions, should comprise only men.
For several years, the BCCUL has been an all-male cast. For the 2014-2015 financial year, police officer and attorney Barry Hunte will take over as president. He succeeds head of the Barbados Youth Service Hally Haynes, who led the BCCUL for four years.
The other members of the executive board are Anderson Henry, Athelstone Catling, Anthony Inniss, Keith Jones, Paul Maxwell, Patrick McDonald, Asthon Turney and Glyne Pligrim.
