Fellow fans.
It has been just over three weeks since my formal appointment as one of the Non-executive Directors of the club. In that time I have attended four meetings with fellow directors of the Club’s board and three meetings with supporters groups (St Patrick Branch, the Disabled Supporters Association and the Working Together group). I have also been able to represent the club at two funerals in that time.
All in all I have found my short time on the board very interesting, informative and engaging.
The fellow directors have been very open and transparent with both Amit and myself and it is evident they are all working very hard behind the scenes. It has surprised me the amount of work that goes on in the background that the majority of fans are totally unaware of.
I have met and spoken with a lot of supporters in the last three weeks, either at meetings, at games or just in the street and I have listened to all their opinions. I have taken these on board and will try to resolve them wherever possible.
Before the election I had indicated that I was not one for posting on fan’s social media sites, I do however read many of the posts on these sites, but this is my first ever post on the .Net and the Bounce. I would like to thank everyone who voted in the election for a fan’s board representatives (whether it was for me or not). I feel that this is a great opportunity for the supporters to be heard. I do not take this appointment lightly and will give 100% to making it succeed.
Please do not expect me to be a regular contributor on these forums but rest assured that I will continue read them to ensure that I can raise the concerns, criticisms, praise and ideas of the supporters with the Club. I will however contribute on relevant issues or where I have news or information that can be passed on to the wider Hibs Supporters community.
Once again thank you for voting. It’s only with the engagement of the support that my position will work, and I look forward to working with you all to achieve this.
