2023-05-23 Trustee Election

The election will start on the 23rd May this year and it will run for 7 days. All members, no matter how remote, will be able to vote.

The election will take place electronically using OpaVote.

Our returning officer for this election is Gareth Howell, who will set up and handle the OpaVote system for the election.

You will receive an individual voting email to your HMS registered email address.

There are three open positions.

In order to run the election, there must be four nominees.

If you wish to apply, please email your application to trustees@nottinghack.org.uk. You must include your full name, a photo of yourself and a paragraph on what you feel you can bring to the role of trustee. The trustee job description can be found here.

You may also wish to include your experience and interests, what you’ve already done for the Hackspace community, and why members might want to choose you for this important, people-focused role.

We'd like to see as many members as possible applying to be Trustees, and applications from women and minorities are especially encouraged.
