So how many of the current board were actually elected by the members? Not a loaded question or anything, I'm just genuinely curious.
What you need to ask. Is how many were co opted on.
Of course. None of it would matter if the main influences aren’t even on the board. Imagine how terrible that would be in terms of reflecting a truly democratic ethos. I mean, it would be crazy if a huge amount of advice was coming from a couple of sources, that completely lack the conviction to actually occupy a seat on the board. Especially after the whole mantra is based on, “if you care that much, you should join the Trust board”. I really can’t imagine that’s actually happening 8
