How panel members are selected
Recommendations can be submitted from anyone to the PCHF CEO throughout the year.
These recommendations will be added to internal recommendations, then decisions on who PCHF would like to invite to be panel members will be made by the Board and CEO.
Potential panellists will then be invited by the CEO to interview for the position. Self-recommendations can be made and will be considered.
It is the aim of PCHF that the Panel be a diverse collection of people, with varied personal and professional backgrounds. Some potential Panellists may be a wonderful fit for the panel but may not work in the current line-up of Panellists and their nominations will be kept on file
for future panel asks.
