TCCA Board – Board member nominations
Nominations must be received by the Chief Executive Officer, in writing, on or before the 30th March 2012.
The Annual General meeting of the TETRA and Critical Communications Association will take place at 4.00 pm on Tuesday 15th May 2012 during the TETRA World Congress at the Dubai International Conference and Exhibition Centre, Dubai, UAE. A key matter for the meeting will be the election of Board Members.
The Board currently consists of eight Members and a Chair. Each year, the two year terms of office of four of the Members come to an end and they are required to retire from the Board. Should they wish to continue then they must seek re-election.
This year the following Board Members are required to retire:
- Hans Borgonjen representing vts Politie Netherlands
- Peter Clemons representing Teltronic S.A.U
- Roger Dowling representing Sepura plc
- Daniel Haché representing ASTRID
The Association is therefore seeking nominations from individuals representing fully paid up Members to fill each of these four positions. Retiring Members are required to follow the same process should they wish to seek re-election.
The duties and responsibilities of a Board Member are currently set out in the following documents:
- Memorandum of Association of the TETRA MoU Association Ltd dated December 2004
- Articles of Association of the TETRA MoU Association Ltd dated May 2011
- Each of these documents is available on the website at teh website of the TCCA.
Elected Board Members must be from an Association Member organisation. The Board normally holds four two day meetings per year in addition to the AGM and TETRA World Congress.
Each Board Member also has individual responsibility for areas of Association work. The Board Member's organisation is expected to fund the necessary travel and subsistence for this commitment, as well as make time available for the meetings and the other work which is the responsibility of the Board Member.
Nominations must be received by the Chief Executive Officer, in writing, on or before the 30th March 2012.
Nominees must:
- Confirm their willingness to stand.
- Provide written confirmation from their Member organisation that it will provide the time and financial support to carry out the duties of Board Member.
- Prepare a separate written biography with a photograph which includes a statement of intent and commitment to the position of Board Member.
- This written information is required by the 30th March 2012 so that it can be validated (part of the validation is to ascertain that you represent a fully paid up Member of the Association) by the current Board at their next meeting and before it is circulated to the Membership. All nominations will be acknowledged.
If there are more nominations than there are vacancies, then there will be a vote of the membership. Members will have the opportunity to vote for their preferred candidates either in advance of the AGM electronically, and the biographies will be made available to them to assist in that process, or for Members that have not voted electronically, at the Annual General Meeting, so nominees will also be invited to give ashort verbal presentation there. Each Member organisation has one vote only. The four candidates receiving the most votes in total will be invited to join the Board of the TETRA and Critical Communications Association for a term of two years.
