Scottish Fencing is seeking nominations for four Elected Director posts, to serve on the Board for four-year terms from March 2021, and for the post of President.
The terms of office of Martyn Foley, Hugh Kernohan, George Liston and Ross Morrison come to an end on 18 March 2021. All are eligible to stand for a second term but one director has already indicated that they do not wish to. This means there is one vacancy and three directors who are seeking re-election.

Submitted Proposal Forms will be published on the Scottish Fencing website as soon as they are validated. And an election will be held in March if more than four valid nominations are received by the deadline of 1800 Monday 15 February 2021.
