Freegle Directors 2015 Election
Introduction
February 2014 we elected nine individuals to serve as Directors of this newly forming IPS. We thank those individuals, the Freegle Reps and all other Freegle Volunteers who worked so hard to set up Freegle Ltd. Now that the IPS is fully formed, Freegle Ltd recently held its first Annual General Meeting (AGM).
As detailed in our Rules under Retirement Cycle, all the current Directors are obliged to stand down at the first AGM. As such, we are electing our new Directors. As we only have seven candidates for Director to fill the nine spots, this election is to confirm those that have been nominated as Director.
Voter Eligibility
Those that have registered as members of Freegle Ltd are eligible to vote in this election.
Candidate Details
As a part of this, candidates have prepared Candidate Statements. These will tell you a bit more about the candidates and what they feel they have to offer as a Freegle IPS Director. Additionally, several weeks were provided for a candidate Question & Answer period to take place on Freegle Central. During that time, voters were invited to ask questions to candidates. All candidates were invited to respond to each question. A total of 6 questions were asked with 35 candidate answers being returned.
Please review these as follows: Candidate Statements and Questions & Answers Spreadsheet
