MHN seeks two new board members
The Mental Health Network is looking to appoint two new members to their board. They are looking for:
- NHS Chief Executive
- Nurse Director Representative
Representing a constituent group on the Mental Health Network board is an opportunity to shape the work of the Network and become involved in shaping mental health policy and practice on a national level.
Terms on the Mental Health Network board last three years, with an option for a second three-year term to a maximum of six years. The board meets four times a year. The constitution and a Code of Conduct for Board Members is available to download.
Nominations
Through this election the Mental Health Network wishes to ensure that its Board continues to be reflective of the population served by mental health services. They therefore strongly encourage nominations by candidates from BME backgrounds and gratefully receive all nominations of individuals with protected characteristics.
Background information for the NHS Chief Executive position is available here.
Background information for the Nurse Director Representative position is available here.
Nomination form for both positions is available here.
Nominees for both positions can submit forms directly to MHNelections@nhsconfed.org.
Nomination forms should be returned to MHNelections@nhsconfed.org by 17:00 Friday 11 February 2022.
Further information
If more representatives than positions available put themselves forward from across membership for a position, then we will follow an election process and ballot information will be circulated to member organisations accordingly.
New board members will join the board at the MHN’s next board meeting, to be held virtually on Tuesday 19 April 2022 from 12-1:30pm.
If a conversation to discuss further or clarify any points would be helpful, colleagues are welcome to contact me directly or via MHNelections@nhsconfed.org.
