Motions
Any member or branch may forward a motion to the Standing Orders Committee so that these can be clarified legally and their suitability for an AGM confirmed. (Operational motions should only be sent to the Chief Executive or Chairman for decision by the Board).
Call for Board Members
Given the likely number of candidates going forward for election in 2014, the Board have decided not to put a call out for new Board members. However, if candidates wish to go on to our panel of potential Board members to be considered in 2014, they can do so. Members, branches, council, the board and staff may propose candidates. All nominations must be proposed and seconded by members. The nominating committee review the applications annually and recommend to the Board candidates to go forward for election by the members.
Closing date for receipt of the above is Friday, 8th August 2014
