Trust Board Election 2025
We will shortly be inviting nominations for members to join the Trust board, with the formal 14 day nomination period running from 5 November until 19 November. The election will be overseen again this year by Marisa Cardoni, our independent scrutineer.
The current board is made up of nine elected volunteer members who each take responsibility for specific areas of Trust activity. TWO elected board members – Simon Duke and Gavin Megaw – must stand down by rotation as they are at the and of their current three year terms; they are both entitled to stand again if they so choose.
We hold evening board meetings once per month on a hybrid face-to-face / video conference basis depending on the location of board members and we also meet the Club monthly during the day and often but not always on a Wednesday by video conference. There are a number formal board roles, all of which are agreed at the first board meeting following the election, as follows:
- Chair
- Secretary
- Treasurer
- Membership secretary
- Vice Chair
Although our meeting with Fulham is often the most visible part of our work, we undertake a wide variety of other activities on behalf of Fulham supporters and are also members of the Metropolitan Police Independent Advisory Group (IAG) and the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham Safety Advisory Group (SAG) as well as being affiliated to the Football Supporters’ Association (FSA) which is the national umbrella body for Trusts. Individiual board members take responsibility for a wide range of work including
- Diversity and inclusion
- Communications
- Ticketing liaison
- Web site and IT
- Celebration day planning
- International supporters
- Social media and email
You can read about the full range of activity undertaken by the Trust board on our web site.
We are looking for Trust members from across our fanbase with the time, skills, enthusiasm and ideas to join the board, take responsibility for some of our growing range of activities and help build the supporter voice at Fulham. Of particular interest this year are members with skills in some of the IT tools we use to run the Trust, including MailChimp, WordPress, Zoom and Google Workspaces.
We would like to see our board become more representative of the diverse nature of our fanbase, so we hope that you will consider either putting yourself forward or encouraging others you know as there is much to do. You can read full details of the process below.
If you are interested in finding out more please feel free to contact any board member, or you can contact us using our main email address: contact@fulhamsupporterstrust.com
Yours, on behalf of the current Fulham Supporters’ Trust Board
Steve Nicholson
Secretary
