Volunteer Board Members Wanted

North West Mull Community Woodland Company is looking for new people to join our volunteer Board of Directors.

There is a lot happening across north west Mull and Ulva, and we would really like to bring some new people around the table to help shape what happens next.

NWMCWC’s work is incredibly varied, covering everything from homes, community buildings and historic properties to woodland and deer management, infrastructure, local businesses, tourism and the long-term regeneration of Ulva. The Board helps set the direction of the Charity and makes decisions across all of these areas.

What does being a Board member involve?

Board members generally give around three hours per week on average. This includes one Board meeting each month, usually on a Monday evening, reading reports and information ahead of meetings, contributing to discussions and decisions, and getting involved in particular projects or areas of work that match their interests, knowledge or experience.

You won’t be expected to be involved in everything, and you don’t need previous Board experience or expertise in a particular field.

We are looking for people who can bring different perspectives, practical experience or local knowledge, and who have the time and willingness to get involved, contribute to decisions and help move things forward. You’ll be working alongside other volunteer Board members and our small staff team.

Interested?

We aim to hold our AGM in November. To stand for election at the AGM, you must be an Ordinary Member of NWMCWC.

If you live outside the area but feel you could still contribute, please get in touch too – the Board can also co-opt additional directors.

If you are interested or would like an informal chat about what being on the Board involves, please contact Alicja at alicja@nwmullwoodland.co.uk.
