Governance The over arching document which controls the objectives of the Company and the way that it is run is called the Articles of Association (AoA). Our AoA is attached below. The AoA was designed such that it enables OCB Ltd to progress to a charitable status should it choose to do so. In addition the Company will be governed by a series of Bye-laws. It is the intention of the Directors to introduce Bye-laws in consultation with the members. Membership meetings will take place 3 times per year to aid this process. Organisational structure The organisation is designed with growth in mind. The immediate intent is to grow the number of Directors from 4 to 6. In additional 2 full time employees will split the responsibilities of the existing Cricket Development Manager. One will concentrate on County Cricket, Coaching and the Player pathway and the other on Developing the game in all other forms. This supports the established strategy of 'Developing Excellence' and 'Increasing Participation'. They will be supported by a series of management teams (mapping onto the subjects in the boxes above). The concept of management teams replacing the traditional committee and sub-committee approach. It is the stated intention of OCB Ltd. to involve the membership where at all possible in the day to day management of the company. Members will be actively encouraged to participate in the management teams. With that in mind 3 Membership meetings per year will be held. Membership The process of Incorporation has given the opportunity to review the categories of membership. |
