REPORT

The Jersey Overseas Aid Commission (Jersey) Law 2005 requires the Chairman, in making  nominations,  to  use  his  or  her  best  endeavours  "to  ensure  that  the Commissioners shall be a diverse and balanced group of people in terms of gender, age, experience and skills, who share a commitment to the promotion of the objects of the Commission". In meeting that statutory requirement, non-States Commissioners with a range  of  backgrounds  and  professional  qualifications  were  appointed  when  the Commission was first established.

The  present  States  Commissioners  are,  in  addition  to  myself  as  Chair, Connétable M.P.S. Le Troquer of St. Martin and Deputy J.A. Martin of St. Helier ; and non-States Commissioners Mrs. T. Roberts and Mr. D. Melville . Mr. Peter Le Seelleur's current 3-year term of office expires on 6th March 2016.

Mr. Peter Le Seelleur is a Chartered Accountant and currently the Finance Director of Capco Trust Jersey Limited. He has worked in the finance sector in Jersey since 1983. Mr. Le Seelleur was an elected member of St. Paul's Church Administrative Council and served as Honorary Treasurer for 14 years. During that time Mr. Le Seelleur was involved in the assessment of many requests for financing from aid agencies of all kinds with each application considered being assessed not only on the merits of the appeal itself, but also on the standing of the agency making the application. Mr. Le Seelleur also serves as Honorary Treasurer of the Jersey Branch of the Chartered Institute of Marketing and the Grace Trust and is Honorary Auditor of the Scott Gibaut Homes Trust. He was the Honorary Treasurer of the Jersey Clipper 2000 campaign.

The non-States Commissioners all serve in an honorary capacity and give many hours of their time freely to assist the work of the Commission and I would like to thank Mr. Le Seelleur for agreeing to continue to offer his considerable expertise to the Commission for a further term.

Financial and manpower implications

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