I just found this on the RFC website:
"The Board of the Richmond Football Club Limited has established a Board Nominations Committee."
Anyone know anything about this?
-
Some Boardroom changes coming up?
-
As I said I was going to be posting less on here but I had to come back to post on a couple of these issues that I feel are of real importance. This thread needs more discussion IMHO as its a really important issue.
Richmond members need to be really wary of the establishment of such a committee IMHO. Such committees at corporate level often means that the boards of management become boards by invitation. And that means that over time boards could become nothing more than mates on the board.
Unless your invited by the incumbents you got no chance of getting on IMHO. Richmond needs to come out and tell the Richmond membership what such a committee means for the members rights. I am against the formation of such a committee. Would such a committee have VETO rights on any applicant to run for the board? Will the board make recommendations on candidates or remain independent? etc etc etc.
IMHO in effect the establishment of such a committee is not conducive to the democratic rights of the club members.

Legally the answer is no our constitution & corp law makes that very clear - they could not do it
Will the board make recommendations on candidates or remain independent? etc etc etc.
Good question, although again under the clubs constitution they couldn't veto anything
IMHO in effect the establishment of such a committee is not conducive to the democratic rights of the club members.
It depends on what the role of this committee is to be honest, we don't know what the committee is, what's its role it
I would like some more info and haven't been able to find any, actually couldn't even find where Mr OE found the above ;D

The committee is responsible for considering and advising the Board on matters relating to the appointment of directors.

Ø Motivation of the candidate.
The Committee will meet and consider potential candidates at the following times:
Ø During the annual Board nomination period in the lead up to the Annual General Meeting; and
Ø At other times when a casual vacancy is created through the resignation of an existing director.
The Club board member that forms part of the Committee will be rotated periodically. The Club Board member on the Committee cannot fill the role as Chairperson. An existing Club director cannot serve on the Committee if their elected term expires in that year.
In discharging their responsibilities the Committee members have a duty to act in the best interests of the Club as a whole, irrespective of personal, professional, commercial or other interests, loyalties or affiliations.
It should also be noted the Board of the Club have engaged the services of Hay Group to review the operation of the existing Board as a whole and its individual members to ensure that the Board is well placed to achieve its stated objectives in the most effective and efficient manner.
