hibs board room

Nominations for candidates to stand in the election to be a supporter representative on the Hibernian FC Board of Directors closes at 5pm tomorrow.

Supporters are able to nominate online or by handing in nominations at the West Stand Reception at Easter Road Stadium.

The club require a contact telephone number and/or email address for all supporters nominated.

Supporters who have  nominated someone and have not left any contact details should resubmit their nomination with a telephone number and/or email address. If no contact details are left for the person being nominated the club will be unable to get in touch with details of the next steps of the process, and the person would therefore not be able to stand.

Following the closing of the nomination period those nominated will be contacted and invited to meet members of the board to hear what is expected from them in the role and to decide if they wish to go forward. Those who do will prepare a statement outlining their credentials and reasons for wanting to serve on the board. These statements will be published online at the commencement of the voting process.

A roles and responsibilities outline has been prepared and is available to download via the club website.

This is the second time the Club have conducted such a vote, with current supporter representatives Frank Dougan and Amit Moudgil having served a two year spell on the board. Both individuals are eligible to stand for re-election.
