New Vacancy
Board Member Position
Join the Galloway and Southern Ayrshire UNESCO Biosphere Partnership Board
The Galloway and Southern Ayrshire UNESCO Biosphere has a vacancy coming up on its Partnership Board that could either be filled by someone living in the Biosphere who has good community credentials or someone with a background in land management and conservation.
Perhaps you have been active in supporting your local community and maybe neighbouring communities as well, in developing new opportunities that will benefit them socially, economically or environmentally? We want you to share your expertise to help influence how we and the communities from across our UNESCO Biosphere can build stronger partnerships for the benefit of all who live and work in the region.
Or if you are not immersed in the community development side of life then perhaps you might have a background in land management and/or conservation and would be willing to join us as we seek to work with farmers, foresters and conservationists in securing a more sustainable future for the habitats, species and landscapes of the Biosphere.
The Partnership Board meets four times per year rotating around locations in East Ayrshire, South Ayrshire and Dumfries and Galloway.
If you think you might be interested, then why not come along to our 2017/18 AGM at Carsluith Village Hall on Tuesday 4th December 2018, starting at 10.30 am (tea and coffee from 10.00 am)
You’ll be made very welcome and will be able to meet our existing Board members and get a flavour for some of the topics that we are currently involved in. We normally finish around 1.00 pm with a sandwich lunch and this time we’ll be joined by the South of Scotland Golden Eagle Project who will be giving a short presentation on the work they are doing and how the Biosphere can get involved.
If you are still interested after meeting us, then we can then provide you with an application form for Board membership.
