STATES GREFFE
PROPOSITION
THE STATES are asked to decide whether they are of opinion
to a p prove the appointment of Jurat John de Veulle as Chairman of the Jersey Heritage Trust for a term of
4 years with effect from 14th June 2004.
EDUCATION, SPORT AND CULTURE COMMITTEE
REPORT
At its meeting of 25th May 1999 the States adopted a proposition of the Finance and Economics Committee P.44/1999 and approved a new Constitution for the Jersey Heritage Trust (JHT).
The Constitution of the Trust requires the States, on the recommendation of the Education Sport and Culture Committee, to appoint an independent person, who is not a States Member, to act as Chairman of the Trust. The term of office is 4 years and no individual may retain chairmanship beyond 2 terms of office.
Jurat John de Veulle has been actively involved in the work of the Trust for over 16 years, firstly as its Honorary Financial Advisor, then as Trustee, and in June 2000 was appointed to succeed Mr. Donald Filleul as its Chairman.
An enormous range of programmes and projects have been successfully completed by the JHT in John's first 4- year term as Chairman and he has overseen the smooth transition following the appointment of Mr. Michael Day as Chief Executive of Historic Royal Palaces.
He also lead the long and challenging debates that surrounded the JHT's planning application to conserve and restore parts of Mont Orgueil Castle. John's exemplary leadership, sensitivity, integrity and continuing vitality, together with his proven professional commitment to the aims and objectives of the Trust make him an ideal individual to continue to lead the work of the Trust for a second period of 4 years.
The Education, Sport and Culture Committee is, therefore, delighted to advise Members that Jurat John de Veulle has indicated his willingness to serve another term as Chairman and would therefore recommend his appointment in this position to the States.
There are no financial or manpower implications for the States arising from this proposition.
