Recruitment of board members
It was noted that resignations had now been received from Christine McNaught and Ellen McAdam. The Chair had also received a letter from Stephen Snoddy to confirm that he had received the note about him stepping down.
Given the recent resignations, the board could now recruit four new members. The board approved the proposed plans for further recruitment, and suggested flexibility to ensure board membership was accessible (e.g. support for freelance members in terms of covering costs where these would create a barrier for participation). Recruitment materials should be amended to reflect this.
Action:
- SV to update materials to include freelance support
SV to amend the skills audit to see if changes have had an impact on identified skills gaps, art form or geographical representation. SV to consult board if there are significant changes.
