The HBF Council
The Councillors are the formal custodians of HBF and provide governance input to the board. Councillors are elected by serving Councillors and Registered Policy Holders who have been HBF members for more than 10 years. They also must be suitably qualified in line with our Constitution. The responsibilities and functions of the Council are:
- The election of suitable persons to the Board and if necessary, the removal of unsuitable persons from the Board
- Ensuring Board members are remunerated at a level appropriate to an organisation of the size, style and complexity of HBF in the context of HBF wishing to attract quality Board members
- To act as guardians of the Constitution of HBF, which can only be amended by a special resolution passed at a General Meeting of Councillors.
There are three types of councillors:
- Elected Councillors: elected by ballot of Registered Policy holders
- General Councillors: elected by General Councillors
- Board Councillors: HBF Chairman and five longest-serving directors.
