Board Election Standing Orders

At the last AGM the Board gave a commitment to further continue reviewing our election rules and processes. The Board, recognising that our election rules were too loose had begun to draft a set of standing orders ahead of the AGM, but timescales prevented them being presented to members at that stage. It was clear from a number of resolutions that were presented to the AGM that those members shared this view. Since then, with the input of members, these standing orders have been progressed to the stage where we have a draft that we would like to be discussed further.

Members can find this draft in the members’ area of the website and accordingly we would like to open a period of consultation with members, before a final draft is put to the spring General Meeting for debate and possible adoption. This will ensure that they are in place for the AGM in the autumn.

Any members who wish to comment on this draft or suggest any amendments are asked to email office@fc-utd.uk with their suggestions no later than Sunday 19th February. All comments will be noted and it is envisaged that a meeting will be arranged later this month, to finalise a draft. The meeting will most likely be held on the evening of Monday 27th February.

Rules and procedures for the election of our club board are not the most exciting of subjects yet they are a vital part of our governance and the board is grateful for the input of those members who have contributed to the discussion in drawing up the new standing orders.
