Alarm Board Elections 2012 - Call for Nominations

 

2012 Elections to the Board

Alarm is seeking nominations to its Board of Directors. The Board sets and manages the strategic direction of Alarm and has overall responsibility for the management of the finances of the organisation.  Involvement on the Board is fulfilling and exciting, and offers many benefits and personal development opportunities.

Currently four places are available and retiring Board Members can seek re-election.

The Timetable for Board Elections is as follows:
ACTION                                                   DEADLINE
Submissions deadline                             30th April
Voting forms issued                               14th May
Voting deadline                                       8th June
Successful candidates notified              15th June
Results announced at the Alarm AGM    25th June 

What's in it for me?
Board membership provides unique opportunities to polish senior management and strategic skills which may not be available to you within your own organisation. Board members also benefit from personal development experiences and training organised to enhance the effectiveness of the Board.

Reasonable travel expenses and any accommodation costs required in the delivery of Board duties will be covered - this includes attendance at Annual Conference. Board members have gone on to contribute at a more strategic level in their employing organisations.

What's involved?
Being on the Board requires a commitment to attend 6 Board meetings a year, planning and development days and annual conference. Board members are also required to assist, support or lead on initiatives and projects to assist in the delivery of the Alarm Business Plan, and this may require additional time either attending meetings and events or preparing and developing such projects.   Candidates should ensure that they have the necessary permission from their employer.

What skills are required?
• An understanding of and commitment to what Alarm stands for - we're a membership organisation that supports risk managers and risk management across the whole of the public sector.
• A willingness and capacity to work at a strategic level - this may include business planning, policy development, financial planning, commercial and product development
• The courage to stand for election
