National Council Elections

Clubs will be aware that valid nominations have been received for Gareth Davies, Nigel Davies and Ieuan Evans as candidates for the available National Council Member role. We would like to remind clubs that the deadline to vote in this election is 3pm on Friday 11th September and would encourage all clubs to submit their votes as soon as possible.

The available National Council Member role is an important position within the WRU’s governance structure, and the person appointed will be committed to making a difference to Welsh Rugby. The National Council Member elected will be appointed to the WRU Council to hold office until the close of the Annual General Meeting held in 2023 and as they will serve on the WRU Council, will be in a position to be elected to the WRU Board as the relevant Directors’ terms are completed. Profiles describing each candidate’s relevant experience and expertise to fulfil the available National Council Member role, as referenced against the Council Member Role Specification, have already been sent to clubs.

For the overall benefit of Welsh rugby, we would encourage you to make as many people as possible within your Club aware of the information contained within the candidate profiles and the requirements of the available National Council Member role. Please be satisfied that your Club’s chosen candidate has the relevant experience and expertise to fulfil the role of a Council Member, as referenced in the documents already provided.

To ensure that your Club’s vote is validly received and counted for the ongoing election process, please return your Club’s completed ballot paper to the WRU’s Independent Electoral Scrutineers (Walter Hunter & Co Limited) by email to WRUElection@walterhunter.co.uk by no later than 3pm on Friday 11 September 2020.
