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 2019 AGM. We received four applications from members wishing to stand for election to the board. Three were from current directors who wish to restand. The election committee did not feel able to recommend that the new applicant be put forward for election at this time.

The board recommends the following 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.

Louise Ambrose (current FSA Director and Forest School Trainer)

Jon Cree (current FSA Director and Freelance Forest School Trainer)

Geoff Mason (current FSA Director and FSA Recognised Forest School Provider

VOTING RULES

  • A candidate can only be voted for ONCE by a member.
  • In order to be elected as a Director – candidates require at least 50% of the vote. In other words, all directors must be acceptable to the majority of eligible members who vote. In the unlikely event of director positions not being filled then the board is prepared to function at a reduced capacity until the next election although they have the option of co-opting directors to the board if required.
  • Stating NO SUITABLE CANDIDATES in your email will be recorded as a vote against each candidate.
  • Electronic voting opens to membership 4th March 2019
  • Electronic voting ends midday 22nd March 2019
  • Votes will be announced at the AGM on 23rd March 2019
