Trustee Appointment to the Howard de Walden Centre |

1. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
1.1 The Howard de Walden Centre is a charity providing a youth and community centre for the residents of Maidstone, and two Trustee positions are reserved for Council representatives. This is usually restricted to East and North Ward Members, however if a relevant nomination is not received, the restriction is lifted.
1.2 The Trustees are appointed by the Communities, Housing and Environment Committee for a term of 4 years, and both positions are currently vacant. One nomination form has been received from Councillor Martin Cox, and is attached at Appendix A.
1.3 The remaining vacancy was discussed at the meeting of the Committee on 29 June 2021 and, as per the Constitution, the position was subsequently advertised to all Members. At the point of agenda publication, no further nominations have been received.
1.4 The Chair of the Howard de Walden Centre has confirmed he would be happy to accept a non-Councillor for the second position of Trustee. Therefore the Committee are asked to consider whether there is another individual they would like to appoint at the meeting. Nomination forms will be accepted up until the meeting itself.
