As a member of the British Judo Association, you have a vital role in helping to shape our future.

One of the ways in which you can help to do this is by voting in the election for the English Representative Director.

The voting pack will be sent via mail to all English member clubs tomorrow (Friday 25th August) with details about how to vote and information about the candidates asking for your support in the election.

A total of four candidates have been nominated to stand for election to the Board of Trustees and you may vote for ONE candidate.

The Board of Directors has the responsibility for setting the direction, establishing policy and overseeing the activities of judo clubs across Great Britain.

Full instructions will be issued but if you have any questions about the election you can contact the elections team by email at bja@uk-engage.org or by telephone on 0345 209 3770.

Please ensure that you use your vote. Your completed ballot paper must be received before 5:00pm on Thursday 21st September 2017 so don’t delay! Votes can be cast online or by post through your completed ballot paper.
