As I've mentioned elsewhere, co-option is a commonly used method to bring expertise to a Board that its elected members may lack. Myself and my wife were co-opted Trustee members of a local charity for precisely that reason. In that role, my wife raised £250k through bid-writing that has kept the charity running.


The trade off though is being constantly co-opted each period and believing in the full democratic principles of being a Trust.

If someone is constantly co-opted onto any board without ever putting themself up for democratic elections, isn't that cheating the system? Why should anyone have to put themselves up for voting?

Proud to be one of the Drones.
