Members have four places on the Board of Trustees, and each Member Representative serves for three consecutive years.
After serving their term of office a Member Rep must stand down to enable another member of the Chorus to stand, thereby ensuring that Board membership is refreshed on a regular basis.
Member Reps are different from Voice Reps:
Member Reps
- Become trustees and help to run the charity
- Serve as trustees for three years only
- Attend trustee (committee) meetings
- Share member concerns and suggestions at trustee meetings
- Do not handle membership queries
- Don’t track member attendance etc
Voice Reps
- Do not become trustees
- Can serve for as few or as many years as they wish
- Do not attend trustee committee meetings
- Are not responsible for sharing concerns and suggestions with trustees
- Respond to queries from members
- Warn members if attendance is falling too low
