Exeter BID opens nominations for new board members
Exeter BID Co is seeking applications from three people following the opening of three positions on its Board of Directors. These positions have become vacant due to business commitments and an office relocation leading to three existing BID Board members having to step-down from their posts.
Nominations are invited from BID levy players within Area 1 (representing Paris Street and Sidwell Street area), Area 3 (High Street North/West and Castle Street) and Area 6 (North Street, South Street, Mary Arches Street and Market Street area) to join the Board.
Craig Bulley, Exeter BID CEO, said “This is an exciting opportunity for three levy-payers to become actively involved in helping the Exeter BID build upon the progress we have made during our first operational year, and help to make a positive impact upon Exeter’s future.”
To qualify you have to represent a business/organisation that is eligible to pay the BID levy from within these Exeter Business Improvement District Areas.
To download the Exeter BID nomination form, log-on to the BID’s website https://www.exeterbid.co.uk/Login/ and select the Forms Section in the Members Area. Nominees are also asked to provide 100 words stating the reason for their application and how they would seek to support the BID’s aims.
