Regional Committees

Scotmid has three Regional Committees representing members across the Society’s trading areas in the East, West and North regions. Members in the Lakes & Dales area are allocated to either the East or West region. Each Regional Committee is made up of 12–14 elected members. The committees’ responsibilities include:

Representing the views and interests of members in their region
Promoting membership and engagement
Putting forward nominees for election to the Board
Managing the regional community budget and awarding grants to local community groups

Regional Committee Members

Regional Committee members are nominated and elected by fellow members from within their region. Nominations open once a year, and eligible candidates are then put forward for election at the Society’s in‑person Annual General Meetings. To stand for election, candidates must have been a member of the Society for at least one year and meet the eligibility criteria outlined in Rule 44 of the Society’s Rules, available here.
