There has been a positive response for the two supporter representative positions on the Hibernian FC Board of Directors with 17 candidates putting themselves forward for nomination.


CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE SUPPORTERS’ PERSONAL PROFILES


Originally 40 supporters had expressed an interest in the role by the preliminary deadline of November 21.

Those individuals were then given the opportunity to meet some of the current non-executive directors at one of three sessions at Easter Road, which allowed them to learn more about the roles and responsibilities associated with a Board position at the Club.

Now 17 supporters have decided to continue with the process, and fellow fans will have the opportunity to vote to decide, who is elected.

As with nominations, eligibility to vote will be restricted to supporters with a season ticket for one of seasons 2012/13, 2013/14 or 2014/15, or current shareholders*.

Further information on the voting process will be issued next week.

*as of Thursday 23rd October 2014, when the nomination process opened

There are a few names I recognise, although it's up to them whether they throw themselves to you lot

Its a pity they all don't have a picture on the website, so I can see if I know them

[blackpoolhibs]

Only recognise two names and wouldn't want either anywhere near the job.

[Mr White]

Well done to them all for putting themselves forward. And good luck, they may well need it.

One or two I'd like to see explain some recent behaviour!

[Smartie]

I know a couple of them. I'd be delighted to see them on board - decent, down to earth Hibs fans with no ulterior motives whatsoever. Obviously there are some well-known names on there albeit they are people I don't know.

How is this going to work? Are they to be voted for? And who by? Or are they just appointed by someone?

This is why they should come forward, if they want to get on the Board then they should be 100% transparent, it will say more to me than a few paragraphs talking about how long they have supported Hibs. This is just a forum but some people make some big bold statements about how we should be run, how we have been mismanaged etc etc on here. Id like to see them for what they are.

Well one of them i have seen first hand how he acted in his self interest, the other would struggle to make his mind up if asked if he wanted tea or coffee.

Will certainly influence the 5 votes I will have access to

[Jack]

Name names!

[Carheenlea]

If posters have any concerns about any candidates I'd hope they would refer to them by name and give their reasons why rather than veiled comments.
The candidates have put themselves forward for nomination for what will in all likelihood be a thankless task representing the support as a whole,but are prepared to give up their time to do so.
Let's hear views on the candidates, good and bad, to give those of us with a vote some advice on where that vote should go.

I'm just piecing things together. I think it's up to posters if they want their full names known. If you sign up for the process though my view is that you should front up about who you are on here.

...which lays those people open to attack or otherwise on here forever, whether they're elected or not.

Can I suggest an alternative, which might be fairer on the candidates? Perhaps the site can set up a separate forum, and give the candidates accounts on there in their own names. That forum would be for the purpose of the election only, which would help us decide, whilst the candidates could protect their anonymity on the "rest" of the board.

If it's technically unfeasible, shoot me

It's do-able, but wouldn't be fair on any who aren't online.

Plans are afoot for some sort of Q&A that all of them can take part in if they like.

[Glorious St Pat]

I know a few on the list - one of them is a good mate of mine. Think Frank Dougan, Gordon Munro and Luz Linn could be in the running.

[Hiber-nation]

Good luck Lewis!

Cool. That would be good.

[Pretty Boy]

I think at least 3 of those candidates are members on here, there's probably more.

It has to be up to them if they want to 'unmask' themselves. It's not really fair for other people to name them.
