DIRECTOR ELECTIONS & VOTING
British Eventing is served by a non-executive Board and the Directors act on a voluntary basis. There can be up to nine Board Directors, and the Chairman is appointed by the Board. Except for the Chief Executive, who is a Director by virtue of their position, Directors can be elected (up to four Directors) or appointed (up to four Directors) to serve a term of four years. They can serve a further four years in direct succession if re-elected or re-appointed. However, they must retire for two years if they have served two consecutive terms. Following this break, they can then be re-appointed or stand for election again.
At this AGM William Cursham will stand again for his second 4 year term, leaving 1 vacancy for an Elected Board Director. Pippa Funnell has put herself forward & with regards to the appointments there is no requirement for a member vote due to their only being two nominees for the two positions.
BE’s Articles of Association (Article 41) only require an election where there are more nominations for Elected Director than available places. Since this is not the case here, no election is required and therefore both candidates are elected unopposed.
