The Board of Society Reflects on year ahead
With the new Trust Board of Society now firmly in place following November's meeting, the Supporters' Trust is keen to look ahead to the year ahead. Indeed much work has been undertaken in the last 12 months, and the newly nominated Trust Chairman Andy Cole was keen to reflect positively on the work undertaken in the last year.

"Since last year's Trust AGM there has been an unbelievable amount of work undertaken by the Trust. The adoption of a Strategic Plan, the roll out of our Working Groups and the introduction of the Grecian Groups forums being some of the most poignant I would probably be here all day outlining all the achievements in the last 12 months. However what is important now, is that the new Board of Society continues the good work already undertaken, and enhance existing work streams in partnership with the club and our wider membership."

Martin, a while back i asked about members of the BOS having a CV or similar up on the Trust website. IIRC, you said that it was being worked on but nothing has happened. Is this still the case only it must have been at least 2 years ago that i asked?

Log.

I tried to set this up, but alas it did not happen, as not everybody forwarded copy to me. I would however state that I am looking to overhaul the existing page in which Trustee's profiles are displayed, and I have a fair bit about the new Trustees to upload shortly.

You should ask if you can post this stuff on WoWS. They may say no but you can always ask

 

[Martin Lawrence]

I remember raising this with Steve once before, and I seem to recall the reason he gave to put it in the correct forum is that because of the high activity on WOWS, many posts get lost and as such, end up not being viewed by as many people?

I may revisit this though...
