The delegates are all very welcome. I got to hear most of the their contributions and to study them in advance of their attending. The league is focusing mainly on the Republic aspect. There are 297 credit unions within the Republic. We were saying one size does not fit all. Are there bands of credit unions? Are there ten or 20 that are huge and 80 that are minute? Could I have an idea of the relative sizes of the credit unions?
