Your nomination must be proposed and seconded by HCSA members. If you are planning to email return your nomination form, we will require this to be attached as a scan of the original with signatures inserted. Nominations must be submitted by not later than Friday 27 October 2017. Nominations will be considered by the Board in the first instance and all suitable nominations will be put before HCSA members. Members will express their preferences through a ballot and the results will be announced at the AGM. Clearly if there are more suitable nominations than Trustee places then decisions will be determined by the number of votes cast. A maximum of twelve Trustees may be appointed. This year’s AGM will be held at the Harrogate Convention Centre on 29 November 2017.
