Trust Board Elections 2018
June 16, 2018
The Swansea City Supporters’ Trust holds Annual Elections for Swans Trust Members to have the chance to be elected to the Trust Board. Full Board Members usually serve for a two year term and are eligible to stand for re-election. This year however, as a result of mid term vacancies which need to be filled, two of the Members elected may serve for ONE year, but will be eligible to stand for re-election.
THERE ARE SEVEN VACANCIES TO BE FILLED FOR THE 2018 ELECTION YEAR.
If you would like to put yourself forward to be elected as a Trust Board Member, please download the NOMINATION FORM below and send the completed form back to the Secretary by the 4TH JULY, 2018.
Trust-Board-Nomination-2018
Please include your name and full address on the Form. Note that nominations MUST be supported by SIX Swans Trust Members who were full Members (i.e. have paid a Membership Fee) on the date of this Notice — 16th June, 2018.
What you are required to do:.
Complete a brief statement (max. 250 words) about yourself with your Nomination Form for circulation to Full Trust Members in the event of a Ballot being required.
A ballot will be held if more than SEVEN Members are nominated. Trust Members who held full membership on the date of this election notice — 16th June 2018 will be eligible to vote in any subsequent ballot.
If elected you will serve for a period of ONE or TWO years from 1st August 2018. The main qualification you will need is enthusiasm and a desire to see the Swans succeed through the Club and the Trust working together. No experience is necessary, there is no pay.
You will be expected to join the monthly Board Meetings which are normally held on the first Monday of each month in Swansea commencing at 5.30pm, and participate in other Trust related activities as appropriate.
You are eligible to stand for election if
* On the date of this Notice you are a Full Swans Trust Member and you are aged 18 or over.
* You are not subject to a disqualification order under the Company Directors Disqualification Act.
* You have not been convicted of an indictable offence.
Should you have any questions or queries then please contact us.
Nigel Hamer

I haven’t decided. My current co-opted position ends on 31 July and I won’t be applying for co-option again (if the opportunity arose). If I want to stay on the board it’s only right that I submit myself for election. But at this stage I haven’t decided whether I do or not. I have until 4 July to makeup my mind. | |

Is it not a gut decision ,one that requires little thought.
More you think the more you might not want it.
Just a shame we " need " a trust to protect the club from avarice , which it has failed to do. |  | | |

No it isn’t. For me it’s a decision about what I can offer, what I’ll be allowed to offer and how much time and effort can I or do I want to give to it. [Post edited 16 Jun 2018 18:56]

Quality not quantity is what's needed.
I don't know you personally, and we do have differences of opinion on here occasionally, but you would certainly have my vote should you decide to stand. |  |

Thanks. Actually though we need both quality and quantity if the direction of the Trust board is to be properly influenced and changed. There are seven vacancies this time, out of the 11 elected members the board has. It’s a huge opportunity to get new people on board. | |

I wonder if there'll be a manifesto from the individual candidates offering an insight into their motives, ideas, background and their vision for the future?
Something a bit more than they can speak welsh and are good organisers, perhaps? | |

Still with the bland and usually pointless 250 word statement?
Imho candidates need to make clear where they stand on the whole ongoing legal issues with the club and possibly have a live q&a on the Trust Facebook page.
The 250 word statement up to this point hasn't been worth the paper it's written on (insert more modern terminology here to suit). |  | | |

Six members are needed to support a nomination. That crazy high in my opinion. Will definitely prevent people applying.
4 members would still be excessive | | | |

I think it’s high too but they’re Supporters Direct rules (I think).
By the way, I’m happy to sign anyone’s nomination form. As I said, the more candidates the better. [Post edited 16 Jun 2018 19:31]

I am more than happy too as a Trust member to sign anyone's nomination form if they need extra names.
Enough people signed mine over the years |  | | |

I'll do the same.
Anyone who applies deserves my full support.
I know what effort Trust board members put in each and every day, and no one is perfect, which is unlike some posters on here are.😇 |  | | |

As a trust member I will also sign nomination forms for anyone who requires signatures. | | | |

It is what it is. Make the most of your 250 words. | |
