Structure Of The Board Of Management
To maintain continuity while maximising member participation….
- There will be an eight member Board of Management with eight elected positions.
- Prospective members of the Board of Management must undertake some training before the nomination process so that they are fully prepared to be members of the Board of Management, and must have been a financial member for at least 12 months.
- Regular monthly meetings of The Board of Management will be open to members, except for any confidential matters. The Board may need to conduct unscheduled special meetings from time to time.
- That the elected members of the Board of Management serve two year terms with four retiring one year and four retiring the next. Retiring members would be eligible for re-election.
- That the Board of Management can appoint a replacement for Board members who resign. Such appointments will be in place until the next Annual General Meeting.
