Fans reps

It was pretty obvious for some time you wanted to change your name to 'Jacket'.

Same old smurf.
 
Ah! That explains things.

I thought it was Jacquette and he was thinking of a sex change.
 
I like both Frank and Tracey, I sit near Frank at many home games and Tracey has always been most helpful when I have had any dealings with her.

As Shrink points out though, the role they play is a Board Rep to the Fans, not a Fans Rep and I wont be voting next time, unless Keiran Power stands.

SUPPORTER REPRESENTATIVE DIRECTOR ELECTION 2019

The term of office for the two current supporter representative directors is coming to an end.

Frank Dougan has served for four years on the board and has always done so with great enthusiasm and commitment in sometimes difficult circumstances.

Tracey Smith has completed her two-year term and as well as contributing greatly to the board she has, like Frank, also given a lot of her time helping other club departments, all for no reward.

Both Frank and Tracey have recommended to the board that the election system should be changed to allow continuity of experience on the Board. The Board have agreed with and accepted this recommendation as it believes it will be beneficial both to the club and to a new director joining.

This continuity will be achieved by one of the current Fan Rep Directors extending their term of office by another year. Both Frank and Tracey kindly volunteered to extend their term. Given Tracey has only served for one term it was felt by the Board that the offer of extension should be accepted.

Frank will be leaving the Board this spring after serving for four years and will leave with grateful thanks and best wishes from the whole Board.

As a consequence, one supporter representative non-executive director will be elected this year for a two-year term – going forward one new director will be elected annually for a two-year term.

Should we put someone from this forum forward? Would at least guarantee they’d post and interact here.

That is assuming anyone wants to do it, it appears a fairly thankless role.
 
FFS Hibs don't spring this on me when I've not got any popcorn in
 
What a farce. Personally I shall be boycotting this nonsense and would urge others to do likewise.
 
Is there really any point anymore?

It would more or less guarantee a soul lost to the Bounce!
 
So they’ve decided to extend one for a year, both volunteered and the board chose Tracey?

Interesting.

So it will be a new director then

Me, too, absolute waste of time.
 
They do appear to be more
Board reps to the fans than the other way round after the Sevco fiasco! Maybe Tracey can list achievements or the difference they have made so we can see the point of them otherwise I won’t be voting.
 
Both Tracey and Frank recommended that they should stay on in post without being elected? Did I read that right?

I think there’s the problem right there - Tracey is staying on unelected and it was her idea.
 
Suggesting you get to keep your elected position for an extra year without being re-elected is totally a Hibs thing to do.

Would only vote if I could spoil my ballot or vote none of the above.

The Theresa May of HFC!
 
Complete waste of time and space IMO, I'll no be bothering tae vote. Just a couple of patsies tae take the flack for decisions made by the real people in charge.
 
You gotta laugh. [emoji854]

I shan't be voting again. Ever.

What a absolute farce, how can tracy having served 2 years but "Given Tracey has only served for one term" be right?

Can we all say yes lets buy a ST but we recommend that hibs give us 2 years would that be acceptable ?
 
I can't get too excited about the staying an extra year thing. If we're going to have fan reps I agree it makes sense that the terms are staggered so that there's always one of them that knows the ropes. To get to that involves either one staying an extra year or having an election for two but one of them will be for a longer term than the other. Can't see how that would work so Tracey staying on seems fair enough.
 
Just to clarify, as the wording could be different. Frank and I were asked by the board about the Fans Rep roles and to discuss the positives and negatives. One of the things that came out of that was that it was helpful having someone who was already in the role to take advice and guidance from. It was then decided that the best way forward was to have continuity in the role and I was asked if I would be interested in continuing for one more year. The elections would then be carried out annually. It wasn't an instant decision, and after taking time to think about it and discuss with my husband, I then decided as it was only for one more year, that I would continue. Frank advised he would be happy to carry on should I not be interested in doing so.
 
Let’s get this working, correctly and smoother.
 
Election time and non elected appointed board representatives, masquerading as supporter representatives, raise their head above the parapet having been posted AWOL for months..... You couldn't make it up!!
 
Box ticking nonsense. I won’t be wasting my time voting this time. Maybe we should be voting for a SLO that isn’t answerable to the board and isn’t bound by boardroom rules and regulations.

don't agree and I think Tracey should reconsider awarding herself another year.

I'm not sure there's a requirement from anywhere that needs this particular box needs ticked.

You stand, I would vote for you K.

probably the best solution, an elected SLO

According to hibs , and frank he wanted to stay on. The board chose yourself.

Are you saying what hibs published isn’t correct ?

Why do you think you should be allowed to stand for another year, when the fans have not voted for you ?

Also, now you have posted why do you continually ignore questions asked off you on this forum ?
 
It's funny.

I like both individuals when talking about the club representatives, but the reality is that the system is something I just don't support. I wanted to, and even tried to, but the reality is that (when push comes to shove) elected supporters have no real influence and are expected to stay in line with what the board demands.

I reckon it's time to fold it. It just doesn't look to be achieving what we hoped for.

Enough is enough.

I find it hard to say either way as I have no idea what's been achieved or otherwise. Which is perhaps the main thing that needs addressed - better communication. Better clarity about what we as a support should expect from the supporters reps would probably help too. If it's 'yes the reps will listen to fans and yes they'll feed those views in to the board but no you'll never get to hear the outcomes of that' then I suspect they'll always be on a hiding to nothing in fans' eyes. And it's hard to argue with that.
 
You stand, I would vote for you K.

Me too.
 
 
I’m sure we’ll get some credible candidates but we need something different for sure.

Can’t make it up. Tracy should resign. I wonder if Rod picked Tracy to stay because from what I’ve read on social media her private business hibs use that service but don’t pay a fee.

In the interest of transparency and good corporate governance it should be disclosed if directors benefit directly or indirectly from being a director

I think it’s the make it look like we’re listening to the supporters box. It might not be a requirement, but it looks good when the agm comes around.

What's this then? [emoji848]
