Procedure

The Term of Office for Elected Members is 4 years. At the end of their first term of office, members are entitled to stand for re-election for a further term of 4 years. Following two terms of office, they are required to stand down for at least one year before seeking re-election. There are normally three vacancies for election each year. Applications to fill the vacancies are invited from all beneficiaries and, in the event of there being more applications than vacancies, a postal ballot is held. Correspondence for NAC members should be sent to them at the Trust offices. Items to be considered at meetings should be forwarded to the Trust office with the support of an elected member at least four weeks prior to meetings. The meeting dates will vary from year to year, but are usually in April and November.

Elections

Elections take place in February each year, and beneficiaries wishing to stand for election should notify the Director at least one month prior to the election date, which will be notified during January each year.
