Martin Watson quit the HFC board earlier this month and so HUST has the opportunity to propose someone to take his place.
The HUST Nominated Director (HND) Policy states that any HUST member can have their name put forward as long as they have been a member for at least twelve months.
'In order to be considered as a HND candidates must be nominated by two HUST members and complete a nomination form and candidate statement.
'Responsibilty for selecting the HND rests with the Society Board who will discuss the nominations at a board meeting. A decision as to appointments will be made afterwards.'
Interestingly the appointment can only be made by the HUST board, however should the HND not prove suitable a vote of no confidence would be required by the members to remove the HND.
The policy in full can be read at: http://www.hufctrust.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/HUST-Nominated-Director-Policy.pdf
