Succession Planning
The Beeston U3A Committee consists of 12 members who hold specific officer duties and we currently have 2 people who have been co-opted on to the committee as they are prepared to take on some of the vital roles in future, when the current post holders stand down.
It is seen as very important that the committee work is operating in a highly transparent way, so that all members can feel confident that committee members are doing the best they can to carry out their official duties and it’s not a “closed shop”. It should also be evident that any member is welcome to offer their services and seek office should they wish at the next AGM. Continue reading
