Please return by post, email or hand a correctly completed nomination form signed by two seconders (Financial Members), to reach us by 5pm Thursday 29 August 2019. A list of the candidates’ names in alphabetical order, together with the proposers and seconders names will then be posted at the office of the Chamber at Kay House Level 2 – 35 Scarborough Street, Southport.

 

2. Second Step - Election

If there are more candidates than there are vacant positions, members will vote by ballot. If not, members will vote by a show of hands. Only financial members can participate in the vote. Candidates with the most votes over 50% of the vote win the respective position.

At the commencement of the AGM should there be an insufficient number of candidates nominated to fill all positions; nominations may be taken from the floor of the meeting. In those circumstances those persons nominated must also receive 50% of the vote in order to be elected to the Board of Management.

We wait to hear from you by the deadline date of 5pm Thursday 29 August 2019.
