No agenda items were planned which would present a conflict of interest. 3.0 Recruitment of Non-Executive Directors 3.1 Mrs Scofield’s paper had been circulated in advance and was taken as read. 3.2 She explained the background and outlined the proposal. The recruitment process to replace Mrs Webster and Mr Thompson had yielded three good, strong candidates and it was the opinion of the interview panel that they would each bring high quality attributes to the Board. 3.3 The next Non-Executive Director was due to reach the end of their second term at the end of October 2020 and this would require the Trust to recruit a replacement. The pragmatic approach was for the Trust to engage all three candidates at this point. 1 Board of Directors - Public Meeting-27/11/19 3 of 238 Tab 2 3.0 Draft Minutes - Board of Directors October 2019 2 3.4 The Constitution of the Trust specifies only that the Board must have a minimum of six Non-Executive Directors; the proposal was to add a seventh, but for a limited period. 3.5 Mrs Taylor said she had been impressed by the quality of the candidates and asked in which order they would be engaged, if the proposal was agreed. Mrs Schofield said that, subject to approval by the Council of Governors on 6 November, Mr Cross would be appointed from 1 January 2020 and Mr Sampson and Mr Papworth from 1 March 2020. 3.6 Mrs Foster asked about the balance of Executive against Non-Executive Director and Mrs Schofield said that there must always be a majority of Non-Executive Directors and the proposal did not cause this to be lost. 3.7 Mrs Webster commented that the services of Gatenby Sanderson had generated a better pool of candidates. 3.8 The Board of Directors approved the proposals that, subject to approval of the preferred candidates by the Council of Governors, a seventh Non-Executive Director should be appointed from 1 March 2020 to 31 October 2020, at which point the seventh post would lapse. APPROVED: The Board of Directors approved the establishment of a seventh, time-limited, Non- Executive Director post on the Board of Directors and agreed that the tenure of the holder of the seventh Non-Executive Director post will run from 1 March 2020 until the next Non-Executive director vacancy occurs. This is likely to be on 31 October 2020. The post will then lapse. 4.0 Any other relevant business not included on the Agenda There was no other business not included on the Agenda. 5.00 Board Evaluation There was no evaluation of the meeting.
