OPEN LETTER
To:- All members of Royal Kingston District Scout Council
From: - Jackie Paddon, Royal Kingston District Secretary and Chair of the District Search Group
Subject Nominations for a New District Commissioner
Our District Commissioner, Bob Bushell will be standing down from the role at the AGM on 14th July 2010 and the process of finding a successor needs to begin immediately so as to ensure a smooth and seamless change over.
I now formally invite you all to personally contribute to the search by submitting a nomination (or nominations) of persons whom you feel should be considered for this important appointment.
Nominations should be submitted, using either a form that you can obtain from me at the above address or via the Internet or you may nominate directly by letter. In each case the completed nomination should be sent in an envelope marked ‘Personal and Confidential’
To: -
‘District Commissioner Nomination’ District SecretaryJackie Paddon, 23 Haslemere, King Charles Road, Surbiton Surrey, KT5 8P
Nominations should be received on or before Monday 15th March 2010.
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 Region, County, 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.
If you wish to nominate yourself, and that is perfectly acceptable, please do so and complete the nomination form. As this is a confidential process, you should not indicate to others that you have nominated yourself.
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 become Royal Kingston’s District Commissioner. When considering a possible candidate please do not compare them against the current or any previous DC. 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.
Those candidates nominated may well be approached by me in order to provide some scouting details about themselves so as to assist the search group in its deliberations.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
Jackie Paddon
Chairman of the District Search Group
