Ahead of the Hibernian Supporters AGM on Monday 7th April, members are invited to consider putting themselves forward for nomination to the Hibernian Supporters board.
With five directors in post, there are currently two vacancies on the board, and members who feel they have the commitment, energy and expertise to help drive us forward are invited to seek nomination to join.
With an exciting period in the club’s history ahead, HS are committed to engaging with as many fans as possible in order to grow their membership base, which will ultimately allow them to grow our financial support of the club.
A voluntary position, the role of director with Hibernian Supporters focusses on the responsible running of the organisation with a minimum term of two years expected from interested applicants.
While all levels of experience and professional backgrounds will be welcome, we are particularly keen to hear from members with knowledge of marketing, customer support, finance and the world of football business.
Board meetings take place in person and online once a month, with week to week responsibilities divided up amongst directors based on availability and knowledge.
New directors will be invited to commit as much time as they are willing to the role, with a minimum requirement that you are able to attend the majority of monthly board meetings and ad-hoc meetings and events with the club where appropriate.
In order to be eligible for election, members are advised they will require nomination from 20 existing Hibernian Supporters members with more than six months of membership.
Assistance will be available, where required, to help identify existing Hibernian Supporters members.
In the event there are more than two eligible applicants for the role of director, with the required 20 nominations from fellow members, a vote will be taken at the AGM on Monday 7th April to determine the two successful candidates.
If you would like to know more about the opportunity, please feel free to email any questions to info@hiberniansupporters.co.uk where we will be more than happy to help.
