Nominations Committee
The role of the Nominations Committee is to recommend appropriate people to the Cathedral Chapter (the board of trustees) to fill any vacancies that arise in both the Chapter and the associated sub-committees.
The committee achieves this by overseeing the process of advertising and recruiting to the roles, and individual members taking part in the interviewing process as their skills and experience allow.
This is not a time-consuming role (the committee met once in 2024) but might require regular support when recruiting to a role.

Finance, Audit & Risk Committee
The Finance, Audit & Risk Committee (FAR) is a sub-committee of the Chapter (the board of trustees), and the chairperson of FAR is a member of Chapter. The committee has a membership of five non-executives, and meetings are attended ex-officio by the Dean of Coventry, the Chief Operating Officer, and the Chief Financial Officer.
In order to fulfil the duties and responsibilities of the committee, members should be able to operate at a senior and strategic level, with experience of working (either paid or voluntarily) in an organisation at least at a middle management level. The ability to deal with figures and understand financial implications of decisions is essential, as is the ability to constructively challenge plans, reports and outline business cases before they progress for decision to Chapter as required.
FAR Committee schedules 10 meetings per year, but may meet less frequently with monthly reporting being provided by the finance team each month. Meetings usually last 1.5 – 2 hours. Members may be asked to assist with more time, for example when new auditors are due to be appointed, or when a challenging financial or audit issue emerges.
