The RYA Nominations Committee has carefully considered the forthcoming vacancies as two Directors, Duncan Rutherford and Corrine Cunningham, reach the conclusion of their first terms.

Both Directors were originally elected by the membership and, over the past two years, have demonstrated exceptional commitment and made significant contributions to the work of the Board. Specifically, Duncan has excelled as a member of the Digital SteerCo and demonstrates solid counsel on organisational process representing key insight into the North region. As a qualified accountant Corinne’s experience is invaluable as a member of the Audit and Risk Committee alongside her skills in risk management and background in conferences, helping to guide the Dinghy and Watersports Show.

In recognition of their strong performance and continued dedication, the Board has unanimously endorsed their re-election for a second term.

See statements from both Duncan and Corinne below.

Newly Appointed Non-Executive Director

Alongside these re-elections, the RYA Board is in the process of recruiting a newly appointed Non-Executive Director. This addition will bring fresh perspectives and complementary skills, to support the ongoing delivery of our strategic objectives and will ensure a balanced mix of experience and new insight across the Board.
