DIRECTORS WANTED – PROMOTE PENZANCE POSITIVELY CIC

 DIRECTORS WANTED – PROMOTE PENZANCE POSITIVELY CIC

Two independent director positions available

Promote Penzance Positively CIC (PPP CIC) is looking for two independent, non-related people to join its board as directors.

PPP CIC has been established to promote Penzance positively, support local businesses and organisations, encourage greater visibility for the town's diverse community, and develop practical projects that benefit Penzance and its people.

I am looking for people who believe in that objective and would like to help make it happen.

What am I looking for?

I am particularly interested in people who are:

• independent of me and my family
• connected to or interested in Penzance and the local community
• constructive, practical and supportive
• willing to ask sensible questions and provide an independent perspective
• interested in helping PPP CIC develop its objectives
• able to contribute ideas, contacts, experience or encouragement
• prepared to support transparency and good governance

This is NOT about taking over the project

I want to be clear about the role.

I am not looking for people to come in and take over the day-to-day running of PPP CIC, nor am I looking for people who want to redirect it away from its existing objectives.

The purpose of bringing independent directors onto the board is to strengthen the organisation, provide independent oversight, bring additional experience and help me fulfil the objectives for which PPP CIC was established.

Directors will have the normal legal responsibilities that come with being a CIC director, and board decisions will be made collectively. The role is therefore one of support, governance, accountability and constructive involvement, rather than individual control over projects or expenditure.

Why independent directors?

I have had conversations with people about joining the board, but some have understandably been reluctant to take on a formal directorship.

One of the reasons for seeking independent directors is precisely to provide greater confidence that PPP CIC is being operated openly and responsibly.

A Community Interest Company is designed for community benefit, and its assets are subject to an asset lock. Its resources are intended to be used for the purposes of the CIC and the benefit of the community it serves.

I want PPP CIC to have people around the table who are not related to me, are independent-minded, and can provide an additional layer of accountability and reassurance.

What might you actually do?

This is intended to be a practical and proportionate role.

You might:

• attend occasional board meetings
• look over proposals and plans
• provide an independent view
• help identify opportunities and useful contacts
• support community and business engagement
• ask questions about finances and projects
• help ensure that PPP CIC remains focused on its stated objectives
• contribute your own knowledge, experience and local connections

You do not need to be a company-law expert or have previous experience as a CIC director.

What matters most is that you are independent, constructive and genuinely interested in helping Penzance.

Who am I looking for?

Two people who are willing to say:

“I believe in what this CIC is trying to achieve, and I am prepared to help make sure it does so properly.”

If you are interested, or would simply like an informal conversation before deciding, please contact me.
