**Credit Union Deposit Guarantee Corporation (AB)**:
**Executive Business Coordinator**:
**THE ORGANIZATION**:
Established in 1974 as the Credit Union Stabilization Corporation, the goal was simply to insure 100% of Alberta’s credit union deposits. In 1976, the Corporation’s scope of services was expanded to include credit adjudication. These challenges sparked a restructuring of the credit union system, leading to the Government of Alberta providing financial backstops to the Credit Union Stabilization Corporation and appointing an independent Board of Directors.

Known today as the **Credit Union Deposit Guarantee Corporation (CUDGC) of Alberta**, the organization continues to be the pillar of financial security for Albertans. CUDGC employs approximately 34 people and provides a regulatory role, and an array of oversight, review and advisory services focused on ensuring and supporting sound business practices and systems for credit unions. The primary stakeholders of CUDGC include, 1st Choice Savings and Credit Union, ABCU Credit Union, Bow Valley Credit Union, Calgary Police Credit Union, Christian Credit Union, Khalsa Credit Union (Alberta), Lakeland Credit Union, Rocky Credit Union, Servus Credit Union, TransCanada Credit Union, Vermilion Credit Union, and Vision Credit Union.
