The Cricket Ireland Board comprises a Chair, six nominees from four Provincial Unions and five independent directors. All Board members are non-executive and act in a voluntary capacity.
Independent directors are appointed to bring specific additional skills and expertise to the Board and to provide independent judgement and objective challenge on issues of strategy, governance, performance and resources. ‘Independent’ is both defined narrowly – as not holding a position in any of our Provincial Unions – but also defined as not having a material relationship with Cricket Ireland ie. a relationship that might interfere with the exercise of a Director’s independent judgement.
One independent Director vacancy will be created at the organisation’s next AGM on April 28th, and the CI Board has directed the Nominations Committee to make recommendations for suitable candidates for the CI Board at its late March meeting preceding the AGM.
The preferred skills and experience sought for the position is as follows (although the Board reserves the right to recruit the candidate with skills/experiences which are ultimately deemed to serve the best interests of Cricket Ireland at any given time):
Access to a wide range of political contacts and/or significant experience within national political/Government circles and/or political lobbying experience.
The closing date for expressions of interest will be Tuesday March 5th.
