2024 CPSA Director Nominations
Vacancies have arisen for the three positions of North Region Director, South East Region Director and one National Director to join the Association’s Board, following the current three-year terms for each of these posts expiring. All of these positions will run from immediately after the Association's AGM in March 2024. Nominations will open on the 2nd October 2023.
To continue with the development of the Association the Board needs members with the appropriate skills, board experience and knowledge to operate successfully at strategic level. Members who can bring significant relevant business and governance capability to the boardroom to complement the skills and knowledge of the existing directors, along with a good knowledge and understanding of clay target shooting, are particularly welcome. There is an expectation to attend board meetings, AGM's and Championships throughout the year to represent the CPSA Nationally and Regionally.
Eligible members may apply for one position only by using either the online nomination process or the official nomination and pen portrait forms which can be downloaded from the CPSA website.
