From:-  Dave Chesterman  (County Commissioner or Chairman of the search committee)

Date:-   27th November 2007

Subject: New District Commissioner Nominations for Maidenhead

 

Your District Commissioner, Ray Tucker has indicated that he proposes to retire with effect from 22nd May 2008 and the process of finding a successor needs to begin.

To help identify recommendations for a successor the County Commissioner (Hamish Stout) has asked me to lead a small group to identify and submit to him our nomination (or nominations) of persons who we feel should be considered for this important appointment

Nominations should be submitted, either using the enclosed form or by letter, in an envelope marked ‘Personal and Confidential-District Commissioner Nomination’ to:-

Dave Chesterman

5, Belmont Crescent

Maidenhead

Berks

SL6 6LS

Nominations should be received on or before Sunday 27th January 2008

In order to ensure the widest possible consultation you are asked, in addition to submitting your own nomination, to circulate this request for nominations to all members of the District, District and Group Scout Councils within your area of responsibility.   This may be verbally, by mail or via newsletters.   Please note that in order to ensure confidentiality, and prevent building up false hopes, nominations should be submitted without approaching the individual concerned. 

Self-nomination is acceptable, however please be aware that unsuccessful candidates will not be contacted to inform them of outcomes. 

I would therefore ask you to give serious and urgent consideration to people with whom you work in Scouting, at work, or in the wider community, and to identify anyone who you believe has the qualities to be your District Commissioner.  When considering a possible candidate please do not compare them against the current or any previous DC’s.   At this stage it is important to draw up a list with as wide a cross section of people as possible, so that the search group can begin the process of preparing a short list.

Finally may I remind you that as a recipient of this letter you are likely to be in the best position to know the needs of the District and potential candidates.   Please play your part in ensuring that due consideration is given to all possible candidates by submitting your nomination.   Thank you in anticipation of your support.

Yours sincerely,

Dave Chesterman
