Glenkens & District Trust is Seeking a New Chair

5 Feb 2026

Our current Chair is stepping down as her term of office concludes under our Constitution. Do you have a strong commitment to our purposes and the skills and qualities to be our next Chair?

GDT is helping drive a coordinated approach to community benefit across the Glenkens and District area, with the aim of providing the most impact and the best outcomes for our communities. It is is embarking on a significant period of transition as it seeks a new Chair and strengthens its governance arrangements to manage increasing community benefit payments from renewable energy developments.

This is an exciting opportunity to guide the Trustee Board in setting and implementing GDT’s culture, values, direction and strategy over the coming years.
