Associate Membership of Creative Futures Cumbria

The Constitution of ‘Creative Futures Cumbria’ enables us to offer Associate Membership to:

‘individual persons, societies, companies, local authorities, unincorporated associations and local voluntary or other non-profit distributing organisations who support the Object of the Charity. Those with whom the Charity has had a working relationship during the last three years shall automatically be members. Societies, companies, associations and organisations shall be represented by one nominated individual’.

Associate Membership will offer the following advantages:
• An opportunity to nominate and/elect Board Members.
• Advance notification of events/projects/funding opportunities.
• The use of Creative Futures Cumbria logo on your official literature as acknowledgement of the support you have received from us.
• A ‘Creative Futures Cumbria’ membership certificate to display.
• Discount rates on chargeable services e.g. INSET

Associate Membership will be valid for three years. It will automatically be extended if you/your organisation becomes involved in our work again in the future.

Nomination and election of Trustees
If you/your organisation would like to nominate a person to join the Management Board we need to receive the completed ‘Nomination Form’ by Friday 9th October.
Your nomination will need to be seconded by another associate member of the organisation. If you are unable to obtain a signature to second your nomination we can arrange to do that on your behalf.

If you would like to stand for the Board, but do not know anyone who can nominate / second you , please contact us.

If more nominations are received than there are places available, then a postal election will take place prior to the AGM.

It is important that potential trustees are aware of the commitments and responsibilities of this role. Please find the outline information sheet attached about the role of Trustees.
