England’s link body for voluntary heritage interests, The Heritage Alliance (THA), seeks trustees in areas particularly covering: Heritage in private ownership; Building conservation/Planning; Transport heritage, and Experience of regional issues.
Chair Loyd Grossman writes:
I am writing to ask you for recommendations for new Trustees in December 2015. We’ll be advertising publicly but I wanted to give you advance notice.
Three Trustees, Nick Way, Denis Dunstone and Mary King complete their terms of office in December 2015. Mindful of the Charity Commission guidelines to ensure The Heritage Alliance retains a balanced trustee membership compatible with its strategic aims and objectives, the Board has identified the areas of experience and expertise that we need to replace or develop. We are looking for three candidates preferably but not exclusively with knowledge and experience in these areas:
- Heritage in private ownership
- Building conservation/Planning
- Transport heritage
- Experience of regional issues
Overall experience and knowledge of the heritage world is of course helpful.
I would be grateful if you could help us to identify individuals who might best fulfil these roles with a short background note or CV in support.
Self-nominations can be accepted. Nominations made by members with the support of 10 other Alliance membership bodies will ordinarily go forward to the AGM for election. Under the Alliance’s Memorandum and Articles, Trustees can serve a third consecutive term of 3 years but this is only used in exceptional circumstances. Previous Trustees can return after an absence of one year. And lastly, if you would like to discuss potential nominees with me, another member of the Board or the Chief Executive, please give Kate Pugh a call on 020 7233 0800.
I look forward to hearing from you by 25 September via this email address. The Board will discuss responses and make arrangements to interview shortlisted candidates at the end of October. A final shortlist will go forward for election at the AGM on 3 December.
