Annual elections to the BSF Board of Directors and Executive Committee will take place at the BSF Annual General Meeting in Watford on Saturday 23 February, and the BSF is looking for members of the softball community who would like to contribute to the sport’s governing body and to the running of softball in Britain.
Members of the Board of Directors and Executive serve on a voluntary basis for one-year terms, so every position on the Executive is open for nomination each year.
The BSF is incorporated as a company limited by guarantee; therefore all those elected to the Board are also Directors of the company, with limited liability.
Board positions
The following positions on the Board are open for nomination:
- President
- Administrator
- Treasurer
- Tournaments Officer
- National Teams Officer
- Youth & Schools Officer
- Marketing and Communications Officer
- Membership Officer
- General Officer (two can be elected)
The Technical Officer is nominated by BASU and therefore not elected at the AGM.
There are also two Non-Director posts on the Executive open for nomination:
- Welfare Officer
- London Leagues Liaison Officer
Criteria
Nominations should include information on the candidate's softball background and a brief statement of the candidate's skills and experience for the nominated post.
Third-party nominations must include an indication that the person nominated is willing to stand.
Nominations should be sent to BSF President Stella Ackrell (stella.ackrell@britishsoftball.org) by Wednesday 6 February.
