At the last Supporters Forum we notified Trust members of the intention to hold elections to fill 5 vacant positions on the Supporters Trust Board.
As part of this process we have been working with Colin Everett to put in place a clear timetable for the elections, which is set out below.
In order to ensure the elections run as smoothly as possible during October we will be reviewing the membership database and ensuring full compliance with election protocols. Colin has kindly offered to assist the Trust with this process.
