How every member can help

• Each individual member can have a vote –

unlike the General Election under 18’s can vote

• Only the members can vote for the

governors

• Vote for your governors – they will be the
• nes who represent you
• Voting is a very important member role and a

great way to get involved

We’re here to help

My role is to:

• support the members and governors
• aim to have a representative membership
• engage and involve our members
• communicate effectively with members
