Hibernian FC today announced the result of the election of new Non-Executive Directors by the club’s supporters.
The two, who will represent the views of supporters on the Club’s Board, are Frank Dougan (who polled 571 votes) and Amit Moudgil (who polled 343 votes) out of a total of more than 3,000 votes cast.
Hibernian would like to thank all of the 17 candidates who took part, demonstrating great commitment and desire to be engaged with, and involved in, the future of their Club. Several have already indicated their desire to continue to assist the Club.
Outside of the two elected, those who finished highest in the poll were Kevin Martin (297 votes), Duncan Walker (248 votes) and Gordon Munro (238 votes).
The newly elected candidates will officially join the Board at the next meeting in February.
Commenting, Rod Petrie, Chairman, said: “The Club said it was committed to greater supporter representation, and I am delighted that so many supporters took the time to vote. We will welcome the new directors to the Board at our next scheduled meeting and look forward to their insight and input.”
Leeann Dempster, Chief Executive, said: “In our consultation poll, 85% of supporters said they wanted fan representation on the Board. We’ve listened, and this is a further demonstration of the enormous change taking place at the Club.”

Well done to Frank and Amit.
Hopefully we'll see Frank on here at some point.

Great news, the fans have voted, let's get behind these 2 guys. I spoke to Frank on Saturday, but I haven't met Amit yes

Well done Frank and Amit....
Lots of votes for Frank, considering he didn't use social media vehicle..."There's class, there's first class and there's Hibs class" - Eddie Turnbull

I'd like to have seen Frank engage on here though - will he do that in his role? He should. There's more to Hibs fans than the supporter associations.

26-01-2015 04:54 PM #6That was my biggest concern about Frank being nominated, I posted during the nominations that if a candidate couldn't be bothered getting on here then they were wasting everyone's time by putting themselves forward for the role because they have to represent here and the Bounce as well.

He finished first so he must have the ear of a few supporters. Maybe Amit can be the one that deals with gauging online opinion. Originally Posted by matty_f

26-01-2015 04:59 PM #8They should both be doing it, IMHO. Maybe he will, I am not about to start giving the guy grief for something he hasn't not done yet (is there a thread about that on here?). Originally Posted by peter douglas

I wish them both the best of luck though - it's a thankless task by the look of it, and they've got their work cut out trying to keep everyone happy.Follow the Hibs podcast, Longbangers, on Twitter (@longbangers)

Didn't put himself forward as I recall either - I hope he makes the effort to make this position work for all the fans wherever they might 'hang out'. Still, the people have spoken. Originally Posted by matty_f

Congratulations to both.
2 completely different generations and styles represented so it could work out as a nice balance.

Well done to the pair of them as well as the "also rans" who took the time to put themselves forward.
I wonder how many of Frank Dougan's votes were cast before his very public case of verbal diarrhoea last week.

26-01-2015 05:40 PM #16What did Frank say last week? Are you mixing him up with Mike Reilly? Originally Posted by Peevemor

Well done to both and wish them both plenty of success. Personally i;d rather not have a rep with a strong religious background, but I'm sure the position won't be abused to push that agenda.

I'm confused. What agenda are you referring to? Originally Posted by underscore

Huge congratulations to Amit
Although I didn't vote for Frank I'm hoping to be convinced he's the right man for the job and I genuinely wish him the very best of luck. I hope I'm eating humble pie soon.

And what agenda would that be? So what if he has done charitable work with the Stella Maris....sure Tom Farmer knows Frank well from his duties at the church. Oh another historical link to the Hibs as well through St Mary's! Originally Posted by underscore

I think he is and to be honest I was on the brink of doing so myself. Originally Posted by maf

Well done to both winners. Not really fussed if FD isn't prone to surfing the Web. There are umpteen ways and locations for communicating with fellow fans.
