I had a chuckle when reading the piece on the 'Keeping the Hearts Beating' video.  One of the guys behind it is called Prentice Robertson.  Could anyone have a more Jambo name than that?

FoH director election

 

 

Members will likely be aware of the current vacancy on the Foundation Board in light of Ian Murray?s decision to step down over the summer. The Foundation will be holding an election for the position at our next AGM (date to be confirmed). Any member aged 16 or over, with the support of 25 other current FoH members, will be entitled to stand for the position and the Board has opted on this occasion not to require that the role be filled by an individual with any specific skillset or level of experience. We would encourage any member who believes he or she has the capabilities to be an effective and engaged board member, to consider standing for election. Among other things, the election process presents an opportunity to address gender diversity on the Board and we would therefore particularly encourage our female members to consider standing for the position.

 

It is our expectation at this stage that the process will operate as follows:

 

Step 1: FoH issue nomination forms and instructions to all members

Step 2: Submission of nomination forms by those wishing to stand and verification of nominations by FoH

Step 3: Announcement of candidates, followed by period of campaigning

Step 4: Ballot papers distributed to members

Step 5: Voting to take place over a period of 14 days, each member having one vote

Step 6: Counting of votes and announcement of the result at the FoH AGM

 

Further details, including specific dates, will be made available in due course,
