Following a discussion at our Board meeting today (25 September), we’ve voted to remove Sekinat Adima as a member of BACP’s Board of Governors with immediate effect, under Article 36 of our Articles of Association.
Sekinat was initially removed as Deputy Chair of the Board in July, but she remained a trustee when we communicated this announcement to members.
Under Article 33, The Board can extend the Deputy Chair’s time as a Governor once their Deputy Chair and Governor term has ended. The Board decided not to extend Sekinat’s term as a Governor and she was then removed from the Board under Article 36.
We’ve followed due process and taken legal and governance guidance throughout.
As a Board of Governors, we’re committed to making changes, so we have a stronger and more accountable Governance system and to rebuild trust.
We’re looking forward to welcoming three new Trustees to the Board in November who’ve been elected by members as part of our AGM voting process.
