AGM - Special Business explanatory note:
As part of our ongoing efforts to ensure that British Dressage has an open and transparent recruitment policy, as well as meeting the standards required by the Charities Commission and for good corporate governance, we are proposing amendments to sections 18 and 23 of the Memorandum of Association of British Dressage. If adopted, this will approve the appointment of an Independent Selection Panel, who will scrutinise all applications for vacant Board positions before individuals are put forward to the membership for election. This will ensure that those nominated for Director posts meet the stated criteria and required competencies for each position, as well as being free from any potential conflict of interest.
