CAIRNGORMS NATIONAL PARK AUTHORITY Paper 5 20/03/09 CAIRNGORMS NATIONAL PARK AUTHORITY FOR DECISION Title: Committee Membership Prepared by: Jane Hope, Chief Executive Purpose: To fill a vacancy on the Finance Committee. Recommendations That the Board: a) Approve Richard Stroud as a member of the Finance Committee; b) Ratify Bob Kinnaird as a member of the Cairngorms Local Outdoor Access Forum. Executive Summary The Finance Committee has 5 members – the departure of Bruce Luffman leaves a vacancy. To maintain a balance in terms of geography and experience, Richard Stroud is proposed as a replacement member. Under CNPA Standing Orders, appointments to Committees must be approved by the Board. While the CNPA membership of the Cairngorms Outdoor Access Trust is not governed by Standing orders, when a vacancy arose following the departure of Nonie Coulthard, the proposal that Bob Kinnaird be the replacement was approved through correspondence. This paper simply seeks formal ratification of that for the records. Jane Hope March 2009
