Networks election notice

Ahead of our Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Friday 19th November, we will be conducting the process of electing representatives to our National Council.

The vacancies are for varying term lengths, to allow for some continuity within our National Council (so all spaces are not up for election at the same time). 

Terms are served from AGM to AGM, and so a one-year term will run until the 2022 AGM, while a three-year term will last until 2024’s AGM.

The network vacancies are as follows.

• Premier League – 2 vacancies, one a two-year term and one three year term.
• Championship – 2 vacancies, one a one-year term and one three-year term.
• League One and Two – 2 vacancies, one a two-year term and one three-year term
• National Game – 1 vacancy, a three year term
• Community owned clubs – 2 vacancies, one a two-year term and one three-year term.
• Fans for Diversity – 1 vacancy, a three year term.
• Women’s Game – 1 vacancy
