To receive a report on recruitment of Independent Members to the Board.

The Director - Finance and Corporate Services gave a summary of the report, which provided the job description and person specification for the two roles of Independent Members for the Investment Board. He said that significant interest had already been generated and that once agreed the posts would be advertised to the general public and he expected to be in a position to interview within six weeks.

Members gave general support to the proposed job description and person specification and expressed the view that Paragraph 1 of the Job Description Key Responsibilities should reflect commercial investment expertise rather than commercial acumen.

AGREED that the Job Description and Person Specification would be amended in line with Members’ views and that the advert would be revised and placed on the UDC website and non-executive director website.
