Board Members from an Expert Witness background
At the next election we will be looking to appoint three Board Members from an Expert Witness background.
The agreed structure of the Board seeks to ensure adequate representation of the membership:
50. To ensure this representation, the Board shall be comprised of no more than nine people from an Expert Witness background and no more than six people from the Legal System.
51. Of those from an Expert Witness background the Board will number no more than three Medical Experts. There shall also be two Accountancy Experts to support the financial governance of the organisation.
In line with this, we are looking to appoint two experts from a medical background and one expert who is a qualified accountant.
