RYA Northern Ireland has been reviewing its governance structures for the delivery of its strategic plan, Navigating the Future.
RYANI chief executive Greg Yarnall says: “The proposed changes are being put forward to help provide greater organisational stability and put us in the best position possible to support members, whilst opening up opportunities to develop and grow the organisation in the future.”
The RYANI board is proposing to change the length of term that a chair holds, as well as a move to charitable status, as previously reported on Afloat.ie.
RYANI is required to have 75 per cent of affiliated clubs in Northern Ireland vote in favour of the changes, which will be made through its Articles of Association. These will be issued to affiliated clubs in the coming days, Yarnall adds.
