Once the shortlist is complete, the selected entrants will be invited to a personal meeting that will take place in person or online on Monday 8 April and Wednesday 10 April.

Following this, there will be a vote by Albion fans based on the answers in the form, which will become visible once voting commences.

So I am a non-person. :flypig:

Just because the last game I went to was over 15 years ago :drama:

Instead of our usual weekly FAB meeting, this week we held our first FAB Webinar, chaired (very professionally) by Gerry Brown

Thanks to all those who took part. We plan to make this a regular thing.

The detailed notes and the topics covered are already up on the FAB website

Strange 95 applicants for the FAB vacancies , but only 23 people registered for the webinar. I would have thought that if you were serious about joining you would have tuned in to gain a greater understanding of the workings if the FAB and to gain an insight into current issues.

Anyway an interesting read and hopefully progress can be made on the issues raised.

Agree……also surprised 23 is seen as ‘encouraging’ given our STH/A+ membership base.

Is it still the same set up where Supporters vote for their preferred candidate and then it goes to the Club to decide who gets invited?

Pity that despite wanting more younger representation, the shortlist actually has a higher % of over 55s than applied.............
But this is just the shortlist. It's up to everyone to vote.

It remains to be seen how people vote, but we wanted to be transparent about the make up of the candidates and the shortlist. There was no discrimination on the make up of the shortlist, either positive or negative, as described by hiding sex and age from the process. There are some excellent candidates in there, male, female, young or older.

Weekly meeting minutes posted in the NEWS section here
Thanks for posting these minutes.

I note that the meeting with the club’s board has now been postponed quite a few times.

A couple of questions on that, if you don’t mind:

1) Has there been any reason(s) given for these postponements and why the club would now seemingly prefer a Zoom meeting?

2) During the lifespan of the FAB so far, has a meeting taken place at all with the club’s board?

Good questions Brian
1) There have been various reasons for the postponements. No reason not to think they are legit, but equally there will obviously have been full board meetings during this period, just none that included the FAB section. We've pushed back on the Zoom call as seen in the notes.
2) No

Barry, a genuine thanks for your enthusiasm and time you spend on this, i really hope the club don’t see your group as a necessary irritant that now and again will grace you with their interest?
