COK is served by three (3) statutory committees namely the Board, the Credit Committee and the Supervisory Committee. These committees consist of volunteers who are first recommended by a nominating committee based on their areas of expertise, experience and knowledge or nominated by members during the Annual General Meeting (AGM). All nominees are then presented to the membership and successful candidates elected to serve on each committee.
