Governance
Constitution documents
The Supporters’ Board is governed by four formal Constitution documents as follows:
Our Terms of Reference setting out the scope and purpose of the Supporters Board.
A Code of Conduct which all Supporters Board Members agree to be bound by.
An Election Policy setting out terms of office and how new Supporters Board Members are elected.
A Memorandum of Understanding(currently in Draft) which will be agreed between the Supporters Board and the Club and will set out how they will work together and establishing minimum standards of communication and consultation.
The Club has also published its Fan Engagement Plan:
board Composition
A democratically elected board representing supporters’ interests, structured to reflect the responsibilities of the Club’s Senior Management Team.
The Supporters Board consists of a maximum of eight members, including the Chair and Secretary. Within the eight persons there will be six elected members, two each covering ‘Commercial’, ‘Finance’ and ‘Match-day & Supporter Engagement’ matters. There will also be a representative from the Watford Supporters’ Trust and a member that can adequately represent ‘Equality, Diversity and Inclusion’ issues.
Members are elected under the Supporters Board’s election policy and serve fixed terms, providing continuity while ensuring regular opportunities for supporters to participate in governance.
