Appointability through Openness

The HIE Network's policy of Appointability Through Openness is designed to encourage wider community interest, nominations and self-nominations for the positions of Local Enterprise Company (LEC) directors through clearer public accessibility to the leadership of LECs. The policy includes

local advertising and consultation to identify a wide field of candidates
production of job descriptions and people specifications
the introduction of nomination panels, containing independent local representation from outside the LEC, to review applications against objective criteria.
