Supporters Trust Board Members are a critical component in any well run Supporters Trust, and a well-structured board will have individuals with a broad range of expertise and experience.
Remember, your role as a Supporters Trust Board Member is to ensure the society operates within its rules and any other legal requirements and to ensure the society is run in a way which represents its members who all have equal ownership of the society.
A lot can be expected from a Board Member, with the vast majority of people performing the role on a voluntary basis and juggling full time jobs and family life.
The FSA has produced a whole host of guidance for Board Members of Supporters Trusts.
