A key strategy pursued by AMInstitute in serving its membership is to build strategic relationships with organisations that share a common purpose with AMInstitute in development of the Australian and New Zealand Credit Union and mutual Building Society sector and in addition see the ongoing development of the credit union director and manager as a critical component of this.

These relationships express AMInstitute's values and include a commitment to promoting the benefits of co-operation and supporting development of the Credit Union System worldwide.

AMInstitute recognises these partners in two ways:

Key Supporting Organisations & Sponsors

These are strategic partners who have provided ongoing support to AICUD, AICUM and ACUI in the past, and now AMInstitute, in either a financial or a technical form (or in some cases both). These relationships are fundamental to the ongoing development of AMInstitute's capability to serve its membership and provide tangible evidence of the value to the credit union and mutual Building Society industry derived from genuine co-operative endeavour. These strategic alliances are nurtured through a formal strategic alliance agreement in most cases or at minimum through an exchange of correspondence.
