North Midland Credit Union

‟Sandie O’Leary, Head of the RAS, has great knowledge of the credit union sector. Her previous experience working as Risk Management Officer in credit unions has helped in her understanding of the service that we require as Risk Management Officers on the ground. I can pick up the phone at any time and Sandie will give me her full attention and support to steer me in the right direction.
The RAS meets in person where a wide range of topics are discussed. There are also online meetings where Sandie facilitates group discussions on specific topics. This is a good way to meet other Risk Management Officers and share ideas and thoughts, as we are effectively all facing the same challenges.
I would have no hesitation in recommending the CalQRisk Risk Advisory Service to any credit union who may be considering using this service.

‟Before the Risk Advisory Service came into being, there was a severe shortage of valid and suitable advice that as an RMO you could tap into. The lack of advice and guidance out there has been solved with the CalQRisk RAS offering! Sandie is so helpful, knowledgeable and can steer you through what you thought might be unmanageable. Sandie has a vast amount of knowledge and experience in the credit union, and this is exactly what you get when you contact her.
CalQRisk’s RAS offering is what credit union RMOs were lacking. The void has been filled by Sandie and the documentation on the website. From template risk assessments, risk advice, guidance documents, newsletters and risk management framework supports – it’s all there and more. And if it’s not - Sandie will source it for you. Sandie has so much knowledge and it shows! I wouldn’t be without the RAS and in particular Sandie – it makes my job a lot easier with the supports that are available.
