Are you interested in being involved in making changes within Strathdearn to ensure that the community can face the future in a confident and sustainable manner?
SCD was established in 2013 to deliver local projects and services in the area to meet with the community needs. Projects vary in size and cost ranging from multi-million pound affordable housing, the recently new Strathdearn hub/shop/cafe to simple footbridge replacement. In accordance with regulation covering our charitable status, we must demonstrate that all projects and services can be delivered and maintained to ensure we can achieve the best value and social outcomes for our community.
We are currently looking for an additional director on our board. Faced with a number of unique financial, project management and service delivery challenges, we are looking for a motivated individual who is committed to the community and prepared to give their time and effort.
We want to hear from anyone within the community irrespective of their skill set or background, who is interested in the challenge of developing the strategic direction of SCD activities in order to shape a positive and sustainable future for Strathdearn. To further strengthen the board, people with professional financial experience would be particularly welcomed.
The appointment is voluntary with input on an as needs basis depending on individual project or service delivery involvement. There is currently a minimum of twelve Board meetings per annum; normally held on a Thursday evening. At present these are held “virtually” in order to comply with current guidance. This position is on a co-opted basis chosen by the other directors until the next AGM in October/November’21.
