EHOA Chairman

You may already be aware but for those who do not know, Cathy Butler, the Chairman of the EHOA will be stepping down at the end of this season.  We, therefore, are seeking to find a person to take over the Chairmanship of the Association from November 2018.

The ideal candidate should have a good knowledge and deep affection for the Sport, a desire to support the sport and in particular to encourage Ownership within the sport.

This requires diplomacy, good communication skills, perseverance, but above all an understanding of the wider issues beyond those of just Ownership.
