Board

Bond’s board members currently consist of 13 trustees, including two honorary officers (a chair and a treasurer).

Trustees are generally elected from within the membership, but up to four trustees may be co-opted by the board to ensure the right mix of skills and experience. Currently, there are three co-opted trustees, the treasurer, Jen Codman and Charlotte Timson.

Trustees serve a three-year term, and can be re-elected for a maximum of two terms. The board sets the strategy for Bond, and the implementation is delegated to the staff team.
