TECT Trustee Election

TECT is governed by six trustees, three of whom retire by rotation this year.  Nominations were sought from eligible TECT beneficiaries for the election of three trustees to hold office for the next four years.  Candidate nominations closed Friday 29 May at 12 noon. 

Independent Returning Officer, Warwick Lampp, says that this year there has again been strong interest in the election with 13 candidates nominated for the three positions available on the Trust. This compares to 19 in 2018, 11 candidates in 2016, and 19 candidates in 2014.
