PROPOSITION

THE STATES are asked to decide whether they are of opinion

to  appoint  Professor E. Sallis, O.B.E.  as  Chairman  of  the  Jersey  Heritage Trust, with effect from 23rd November 2015.

MINISTER FOR EDUCATION, SPORT AND CULTURE

REPORT

The Minister for Education, Sport and Culture has received notice from the Jersey Heritage Trust that its chairman, Mr. Clive Jones, wishes to stand down from his post in November. Mr. Jones has served for a period of 7 years, one year short of the maximum term permitted.

Following a process overseen by the Jersey Appointments Commission, the post was advertised and 2 candidates applied. Both were interviewed by a Panel comprising 2 existing trustees and a representative of the Department for Education, Sport and Culture,  with  a  member  of  the  Jersey  Appointments  Commission  in  attendance. Professor Ed Sallis, O.B.E. was the unanimous choice of the Panel, and the process by which he was chosen has been formally endorsed by the Commission.

In accordance with the Trust's constitution, the Minister for Education, Sport and Culture now invites the States to confirm the appointment of Professor Sallis, for a 4-year term commencing 23rd November 2015, the proposed handover date.

Professor  Sallis  has  considerable  experience  to  bring  to  bear,  not  only  from  his distinguished professional career, but also from his involvement in the cultural life of the Island. He had served previously as a trustee of Jersey Heritage before being appointed again in 2011.

The Minister would like to record his thanks to Mr. Clive Jones for his outstanding service as Chairman of the Trust, during which time he has overseen with great skill a number of significant changes at Jersey Heritage which have left the organisation in a strong position, both financially and in terms of the contribution which it makes to the cultural life of the Island.

Financial and manpower implications

There are no financial or manpower implications for the States arising from this proposition.
