The FSA is managed by a board that can have up to twelve full members on it at any one time. There will be five vacant positions on the board at the 2021 AGM. This year only existing directors will be standing for election because their term is up.
In addition, we have received five applications from members wishing to become co-opted advisors to the board this year. These members are being orientated to the function of the board and will be eligible to stand at next year’s election if recommended to do so by the board.
This year the board recommends the following candidates and invites members to formally elect them to the board as directors of the FSA. The candidates’ application forms may be viewed through the links below.
