Hibs have announced that over 40 nominations have been received from supporters to put themselves forward for election as Non-Executive Directors of the club.
Nominations closed on Friday, and the next stage in the process will see optional meeting dates set up with some of the Club’s serving Non-Execs to gain greater insight into the role, the time demands and the responsibilities.
After that, those wishing to continue for public election will be invited to provide personal statements to give the wider support base more information on the candidates they will vote for. It is expected that the two new Non-Executives will attend their first Board meeting in January next year.
Hibernian Chief Executive Leeann Dempster, who led the consultation process, said: “We are very pleased with the level of interest shown. We can now let those interested in taking up the offer meet with existing non-executive directors informally so that they can find out all they want to know about what the role entails.
“Then we will move into the election phase.”
Individuals who nominated themselves will receive communication from the Club in the coming days.
