Yesterday the Board had its first meeting since the election of Directors on 18 March. It has appointed George Liston to act as the Chair of Scottish Fencing Ltd until March 2025.
As there are now two female and six male directors, the Board also agreed to use the power in the Articles to appoint a woman as an Additional Director to bring its gender balance to at least the 30% which best practice regards as a minimum. (The membership currently sits at 31% female). There will be an open recruitment for this position alongside the forthcoming recruitment to fill the vacancy for an Independent Director.
The Board has still to decide exactly how it will allocate portfolios of responsibilities, but the two new Directors will use the e-mail addresses equalities@scottish-fencing.com for Mhairi McLaughlin and president@scottish-fencing.com for Stan Stoodley. The full list of revised portfolio responsibilities will be published when it is finalised.
The other Board e-mail addresses are: chair, development, finance, governance, hr and performance @scottish-fencing.com.
The address safeguarding@scottish-fencing.com is no longer a Board address but delivers to Ross Morrison who continues as SF's Safeguarding Officer.
