Election of Trustees
We will be electing a new committee at the AGM at 5pm on Saturday 17th January!
If you would like more information on becoming a Trustee, don’t hesitate to get in touch and we can have a chat about the roles and responsibilities of Trustees, the time commitment and how we can help make it accessible for you.
- To become a Trustees you must be resident in the DCC area and on the electoral roll, and a Full Member of DCT (or eligible to become one)
- You must be nominated by 2 resident, Full Members of DCT in writing (email is fine! hello@dunvegantrust.co.uk) 7 days prior to the date of the AGM
- We will contact you prior to the AGM to confirm your willingness to act as a Trustee
With 146 Full Members, we need at least 15 Full Members to attend to be quorate. With the procedure above in place, there’s no danger of a last minute push to join the committee(!), but to elect new trustees and make other decisions we need voting Members to attend – please come along if you can!
Changes to our Constitution
Two additions to our constitution have been proposed, and will be voted on by Members at the AGM:
1. to add a 5th charitable purpose to our constitution, to firmly secure the Community Minibus within our normal activities:
“The provision of community transport options to those experiencing rural transport barriers in NW Skye”
2. to add a clause defining a Trustee term:
“Each Elected Charity Trustee shall serve a term of three (3) years from the date of appointment. Trustees may serve no more than two consecutive terms, after which they must retire for at least one year before being eligible for reappointment.”
