<p class="MsoNormal"><b>To CMA Members<u></u><u></u></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The CMA is looking forward to welcoming many of our members to what I believe is a truly members led conference in Leicester on <b>Saturday 14<sup>th</sup> June</b>. Beforehand we have the AGM and the annual election to Council. This year we
have 10 of the 15 seats up for election. 5 of these are existing council members seeking re-election.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have been fortunate that our Council this year has been particularly strong and this is having a positive effect on the development of the CMA. Looking ahead I am keen to build on this and hope for a Council of diverse and prodigious
talent. It should be composed of representatives across the community media spectrum.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal">Whilst welcoming all interest I am particularly keen to hear from anyone with knowledge or expertise in fund-raising, HR, finance, legal and governance. I am also keen to
hear from anyone willing to represent members interests outside of England. Ultimately anyone who has a little time to give the CMA and who shares that passion for community media and how our sector develops should consider putting themselves forward.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ll happily talk to anyone who is interested if they would like to know more about it. Meanwhile anyone considering standing for Council should be proposed and seconded to either Bill Best or myself <b>by 12 noon on Monday 9th June</b>.<br>
