Our public governors are elected by our members.
Governors hold office for two or three years. Standing for election is a simple process and all our members will be notified in advance of any election - see below for information about any current election and previous elections. For more information about the role, you may wish to download our Handbook about being a Governor.
If you might be interested in standing in the future or would simply like more information about the role of a governor, please contact the Membership Office.
Election in Brighton and Hove April-June 2012
We are sad to lose our public governor for Brighton and Hove, Gloria Parks, who has resigned after a year in post for personal reasons. Gloria has contributed greatly to the Council and particularly to the Membership Development Committee, and we offer her our immense thanks.
As a result, we are holding an election for a new governor in Brighton and Hove. Our public members in this area should receive nomination forms and more information about the election during April. We are keen to encourage members to stand, since Gloria was uncontested during our inaugural elections - we hope there will be more interest from members this time.
Completed nomination forms from anyone wishing to stand for election must be received by the independent elections agency by 5pm on 10 May.
In order to stand, you must be a public member who lives in Brighton and Hove. If you are not a member already and wish to stand, please advise the Membership Office as soon as possible.

Please note that while Michael Whitcombe won the election, he was subsequently appointed as a member of SECAmb staff and was therefore ineligible to be a public governor. As set out in our constitution, we then approached the candidate with the next highest number of votes and Margaret Bridges was appointed as a public governor for Kent.
Inaugural elections 2010
Our first elections for staff and public governors were held in November and December 2010. The results were announced on 14 December 2010.
We'd like to thank all our members who took the time to vote.
