Board Members
Principles
The Board will include:
- An independent chair
- 5 members chosen for their skills and attributes (taking into account diversity, experience, governance, industry skills and knowledge and leadership)
- An employee representative.
A Board Appointment Panel (BAP) will:
- Assess and appoint the Chair and two other Board members
- Assess and recommend three others for election by the AGM. Any applicant seeking election (whether or not recommended by the Panel) can be elected.
Anyone can apply to be on the Board or be nominated by others.
Feedback from workshops
- Strong support for Board composition and appointment process proposed
- Industry skills not a prerequisite for Board appointment, but that AGM election of some members would ensure industry skills represented
- Important to ensure the right governance for the organisation
- Some suggested all should be appointed by independent panel
- No one in favour of all being elected by AGM as this doesn’t guarantee the appropriate skill set required
