Want To Be On The Nottinghamshire Committee?

 

Introduction to the club

Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club are one of the 18 professional county cricket clubs in England and Wales. Formed in 1838, the club currently has around 6,000 members and employs around 100 permanent staff.

It has recently undergone some constitutional changes designed to ensure that our governing body is reflective of the community we represent.

We currently have vacancies for four General Committee members with a start date of February 2022 and are seeking individuals who can complement the existing mix of skills and experience.

As an organisation, we are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion. We believe that diversity within our governing body is an important aspect of that commitment and would welcome applications from throughout our community.

We are an open and collaborative committee and are looking for individuals who can contribute to our goal of inspiring the county of Nottinghamshire through cricket.

 

What's involved?

The role of General Committee member is performed in a strategic context and does not encompass hands-on involvement in the day-to-day running of the club.

It typically involves attending monthly board meetings, as well as possible ad-hoc meetings and sub-committees outside of that framework. A time commitment denoted to preparing for those meetings will also be required.

Positions on the General Committee are voluntary, non-executive roles. All candidates will be interviewed by the club’s Nominations Panel, who will appoint to one position as per the club’s governance rules, with the other three positions decided by the members through an election.

Kindly note that two consecutive years’ full membership of the club are essential in the case of the three elected positions. The individual appointed by the Nominations Panel will need to become a member once they are appointed, if that’s not already the case.

 

How to apply?

There are two routes by which you can make an application, however, we can only accept one application per candidate.
