There were currently three Independent Governor Vacancy on the Board.  In accordance with the Board’s search procedures, the Clerk had undertaken an extensive search & recruitment campaign.  All applications submitted had passed Due Diligence Checks and, after a long-listing process, three applications which could match the Board’s skills requirements and skills succession plan, had been short listed to progress to an informal meeting with the P/CEO.
