RYA Board
Can you help lead the RYA?
Two candidates are being sought to replace Ronan Harte and Adam Jay who will be leaving the Board in November, Ronan having reached the end of his term and Adam stepping down to aid board member rotation. Following a skills evaluation, the Board is keen to receive applications from enthusiastic and forward-thinking candidates with either;
- A deep insight of grass roots dinghy sailing, performance pathways or experience of elite sports at a strategic level or;
- Those experienced in taking a strategic approach to sustainability covering environment, social and governance issues. The successful candidate would support the RYA in maintaining its recognised leading role in sustainability in sport.
The RYA’s Board of Directors supervises the management of the RYA’s business and discharges the responsibilities of the directors under the Companies Act 2006. It meets up to eight times per year, either virtually or physically in London or Southampton. The role may mean an increased investment of time at certain times of the year, and you may be asked to invest time in other projects.
The four-year term starts with effect from this year’s AGM, with the opportunity to stand for a second term. This is a non-remunerated role, but basic travel expenses are paid.
The RYA is committed to equality of opportunity.
As an equal opportunity and disability confident employer, we celebrate and welcome diversity in all its forms and believe that a diverse workforce boosts innovation, productivity, and creativity.
We are dedicated to promoting equity, diversity and inclusion and strive to be an inclusive and diverse workplace where everyone can be their authentic selves. We would particularly encourage applications from ethnically diverse candidates who are currently underrepresented at the RYA.
If you feel you meet these criteria and have the necessary skills to be a RYA non-executive director please submit a one page letter to board24@rya.org.uk detailing specifically how your knowledge and experience meets our requirements as well as a summary of your CV.
Please complete and include the skills matrix spreadsheet and the Equality Monitoring Form.
Deadline for applications is midday on the 23rd of September 2024.
Interviews will take place during the week commencing October 7. Should you require any information in an alternative format also please email board24@rya.org.uk
