TJF Elections 2023
The Jags Foundation is nothing without its members. It is vitally important that our leadership group is elected and accountable to our members. That is why we hold director elections, ahead of each Annual General Meeting (AGM).
All nine directors currently in post were elected in May 2022. Three of those directors will see their terms expire at the 2023 AGM (Thursday 15th June 2023).

Election Rules and Guidelines
The rules for TJF elections are set out in two places.
First, there are the Articles of Association. These set out key rules for eligibility to be a director.
Second, there are the Election Rules and Guidelines. These were approved back in February 2023 by the current TJF Board.
Anyone considering standing for election should read these carefully. If you have any questions about the Articles, rules or guidelines, or the election more generally, please contact the Secretary (secretary@thejagsfoundation.co.uk).
