Vacancies on the AGCAS Board of Directors
Nominations are invited from Associate Members for the following two remaining positions on the AGCAS Board of Directors.
1) Company Secretary
The Company Secretary is a Director of AGCAS the Company, a Trustee of AGCAS the Charity and a Company Law Member. Responsibilities include conducting AGCAS business and liaising with Directors, staff and members in administrative and strategic roles - far more than taking minutes. The Company Secretary has specific responsibility for making annual returns to Companies House, the Charity Commission and the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator.
2) Director (Quality and Membership)
The Director (Quality and Membership) is a Director of AGCAS the Company and a Trustee of AGCAS the Charity. The Director (Quality and Membership) chairs the Quality and Membership Advisory Group (QMAG), co-ordinated by the AGCAS Quality and Membership Manager, which will include representatives with expertise from within and outside of the AGCAS membership as required. The purpose of the role is to promote, develop and monitor quality standards in AGCAS services and to advise on AGCAS membership criteria, make strategic recommendations to the Board, commission and monitor task group and project activity as appropriate. The operational aspects of the remit of QAC will be carried out by small task groups, each led by a QMAG member.
Both positions are for three years (1 August 2008 – 31 July 2011). Candidates may be nominated for one or both posts. Candidates will need to complete and return a Nomination Form and a Charity Trustee Declaration.
For more information about the activities of Board members, see the document Roles and Responsibilities of the AGCAS Board.

We all rely on AGCAS and the important work it is doing. These are challenging times and you can make a difference. It is vital that we have a full and capable team to lead our association.
The closing date for nominations is 16 May 2008.
