The Management Committee (MC) of Compass provides strategic direction for the organisation and makes important decisions on behalf of the membership. In this year to come – with the Scottish Referendum, a General Election and as Compass continues to grow and develop – it has never been more important who we have at the helm. This is your chance to choose our MC, to get involved and shape the future of Compass. Every vote counts (we use a form of proportional representation for these elections!) so make sure you use yours. If you have any queries with the process don’t hesitate to get in touch by email (elections@compassonline.flywheelsites.com) or by phone (020 7463 0631).   

Just click this link for the ballot form and this link for the candidate statements to download the relevant documents for the Compass Management Committee elections. The Welsh and Parliamentary representatives are unopposed, so those persons standing are duly elected and will not be included in the ballot. I have included the nomination statements of all those who self nominated for your interest. We currently don’t have any nominations for the Scottish representative so nominations will be re-opened and Scottish members will be able to put themselves forward. We will email a new timetable for this election separately to Scottish members.
