Trustee elections
Because of our origins as a grass-roots association, we wanted to put the members in control so we have adopted a governance model with trustees directly elected by the membership. To strike a balance between continuity and new input, trustees are elected for two year terms with half being up for re-election or replacement each year.
The current board was elected in October 2019. Half of the trustees were elected from amongst the founding trustees and half were newly elected. Just under half of those eligible cast a vote: 109 of the 228 members.
Annual General Meeting
The first formal Society AGM will be held in 2020 when the first trustees’ annual report and accounts will be presented. Members will be given notice of the details once arrangements have been made.
