[cma-l] CMA Council Election 2015

[CMA-L]

*To CMA Members*


The CMA is looking forward to welcoming as many of you as possible to
attend a truly members-focused Community Media Conference
<http://www.commedia.org.uk/events-training/cma-agm-conference-2015/> at
the University of Bedfordshire in Luton on *Saturday 12th September*. In
the morning we have the 31st AGM and the annual election to Council.


This year there are five seats up for election, this is due to Murray
Dawson standing down and also the end of the terms for four current members:
Dom Chambers (Chair), Terry Lee (Treasurer), Jenny Campbell and Liz
Hardwick.

All of these four members are eligible to re-stand for election and
Dom, Terry and Jenny have expressed a willingness to re-stand. The
remaining nine Council Directors are not up for election this year due to
their date of appointment.



We have been fortunate that our Council this past year has been
particularly strong which, in a period of transformation, has taken on some
aspects of operational delivery.


If anyone is considering joining the CMA Council, whilst welcoming interest
from all quarters, the current Directors would particularly value
prospective candidates with skills in business, finance, and legal matters.
Following a facilitated development day, these skills were identified to
best complement the current range of skills of the Council. Ultimately
anyone who has a little time to give the CMA and who shares a passion for
community media and how our sector develops should consider putting
themselves forward.


The deadline for nominations to be returned to Bill Best at the CMA is *12
midnight* on *Sunday 6th September 2015* - a scan or photo of your signed
form will be  acceptable by this deadline if a hard copy will shortly
follow in the post. Email address: agm at commedia.org.uk


We will issue a ballot paper for proxy voting on *Monday 7th September* and
the proxy ballot will be closed at *5pm on Friday 11th September*.


Please feel free to contact any CMA Council member if you would like to
know more about the role. Do remember that anyone considering standing for
Council should be proposed and seconded to Bill Best *by 12 midnight on
Sunday 6th September.*
