Nominations for TfL Pension Consultative Council 2010

Nominations are being sought for TfL Pension Fund members to stand for election to the TfL Pension Consultative Council (PCC).

Five representatives need to be selected to replace those due to retire from office on 30 November 2010 under the PCC's constitution.

Representatives due to retire are David Biggs and John Howie from Section One (representing pensioners and deferred pensioners), Stephen Ellaby from Section Two (representing employees of TfL, its subsidiaries or contractors) and Jackie Darby and Thandi Davis from Section Three (representing employees of London Underground, its subsidiaries or contractors).

Successful nominees in Section One should also note that attendance at Pensioner Forum meetings is a requirement of election.

Any TfL Pension Fund member may nominate another member as a candidate for election or re-election to the section that represents them both. Retiring representatives can also be nominated.

Nominations must be made in writing by a member of the same Section as the nominee. Each nomination must be countersigned by another Fund member represented by the same section. The information listed below and a personal statement of up to 100 words, including the reason for standing for election, or re-election, to the PCC, must accompany the nomination.
