June 5, 2014
N. CHARLESTON, SC — South Carolina Federal Credit Union’s Board of Directors appointed Matt Alexander as its newest member of the Supervisory Committee.
The Supervisory Committee provides assurance that credit union policies, procedures and systems of internal control are adequately designed and functioning to safeguard member assets. It also ensures the credit union’s financial condition is accurately represented via financial statements.
As a member of the committee, Alexander’s responsibilities include monitoring the quality of the credit union’s finances and evaluating actions and decisions of the Board of Directors to guarantee competence and timeliness. The committee also addresses member and employee complaints, along with supervising the operations of the Internal Audit function.
Alexander is the co-founder of Palmetto Medical Initiative (PMI) which opened its first comprehensive medial campus in Masindi, Uganda in 2011. Within 13 months, the clinic was financially self-sufficient, due to the organization’s successful business model. Since investing in the people of Uganda, PMI has treated nearly 100,000 patients and organized more than 1,000 volunteers on short-term medical missions.
In January 2014, PMI opened its second medical center in El Viejo, Nicaragua and has plans underway for a second hospital in Uganda and a location in Burundi, Africa.
