Meeting formats are currently under review and some may in future be held virtually.
Both roles are appointments for an initial term of three years and may be re-appointed for a further two terms of three years. We anticipate one of the new Trustees will join the Board in October 2020, with the second successful new Trustee joining us in the Spring of 2021.
