Trafalgar House Pension Trust (THPT) – MNTDs
By now THPT members should have the welcome news that Sir Eric Parker is automatically re-elected as a Member Nominated Trustee Director (MNTD), per the Trustee’s letter of 31 October 2008. His nomination papers were oversubscribed by colleagues seeking his return.
Attention now focuses on election of two MNTDs for the deferred/active constituency. I offer my recommendation on voting and give answers, based on my personal opinion, to the following relevant questions.
Who should you vote for?
David Moorhouse (DM)
Why DM?
We need as MNTDs people of calibre and relevant experience who are equal to the difficult task facing the Trustee in carrying on the THPT. In short, we need “heavyweights” capable of contributing at the same level as the five “professional” directors. Of the three candidates, I believe DM meets this test, as his election statement clearly demonstrates. I supported his nomination.
Can pensioners vote for a candidate of the deferred constituency?
Yes, ALL members can cast up to two votes, for two of the three candidates.
Should you cast two votes?
No. My recommendation is cast one vote only for DM on the Ballot Paper. This will optimise his chances under the “first past the post system”.
When should you vote?
Closing date is 28 November, but please VOTE & MAIL THE PAPER NOW.
What else could you do to support DM?
Pass on my recommendation to all THPT members of your acquaintance and encourage them to vote for DM.
Timing
This election coincides with the fall out from unprecedented turmoil in financial markets, emphasising our need for “heavyweight” MNTDs. The interests of all THPT members will be served by having Sir Eric and David Moorhouse as MNTDs. Do ask me if you want further information on my recommendation.
