Are you passionate about Hereford City’s future? Do you want your hometown to be one of the greenest and fairest cities in the country?
#StrongerHereford is currently recruiting new board members and are looking for people who have significant commercial experience and (ideally) experience of delivering ambitious projects.
#StrongerHereford put forward a bid for £24.9 million to Central Government in January 2021 and secured £22.4 million later that year to put towards the assigned projects outlined in their Town Investment Plan. The #StrongerHereford Board is now overseeing the delivery phase of the projects.
There are 15 projects. They range from a hugely ambitious renovation of the city’s Museum and Art Gallery and a ground-breaking collaboration between formal education and community organisations, to a new, free to use electric bus service and exciting enhancements of Hereford’s pioneering skate park.
You’d be joining an independent board for Hereford city made up of a blend of people from private, public and community sectors who all have Herefordshire in their heart. It is a mix of parents, students, educators, business owners, employers, employees, creatives and politicians.
They’re looking for new members with significant commercial experience and ideally also experience of delivering ambitious projects.
Board members are encouraged to participate in activities in between Board/Project Sponsor meetings which could involve visiting one of our projects, representing the Board at networking events or participating in a sub group.
To be eligible, board members are expected to live in Herefordshire or to have a close connection to the county and to be confident that they can travel to attend some meetings in person.
