The FSA is managed by a board that can have up to twelve full members on it at any one time. There will be seven vacant positions on the board at the AGM. We received four applications from members wishing to stand for election to the board. Two were from current directors who wish to restand and two were from other members.
The board recommends all four of these candidates and invites members to formally elect them to the board as directors of the FSA. The candidates’ application forms may be viewed through the links below.
Sara Collins (current board member and Deputy Chair of the FSA)
Lily Horseman (current board member and Chair of the FSA)
Sarah Lawfull (FSA Endorsed Trainer)
Francesca (Froo) Signore (Forest School Practitioner)
