Elections to the Council of Governors 2024
Can I vote? What happens next?
We had a great response to our governor elections, and you can see the full list of nominations in the Statement of Nominations below.
We have contested vacancies in the Huddersfield Central and Lindley and the Valleys constituencies and ballot forms will be sent out by e-mail or post on 7 June to members who live in these constituencies. Click on this link to see the candidates for the two contested vacancies and why they think you should vote for them.
If you receive a ballot form, please don't miss your opportunity to vote - the successful candidate will act as your link with the Council of Governors and the Trust Board.
Here's a short video of our Chair, Helen, telling you why it's important to vote
