Nominations to the Board

NALA has received eligible nomination forms from the following two individuals to be elected to the two vacant positions on the Board:

1. Candidate – Geraldine Mernagh, Position – Director
2. Candidate – Sarah Shaughnessy, Position – Director

You will be asked to approve these appointments at our AGM but there will be no election process. This is because there are only 2 valid nominations for the 2 available places.
