In brief: Cowes Harbour Commission (CHC) is seeking to appoint a new Board member. 

Would you like to play an important role in helping to determine the policy and business decisions for Cowes Harbour?

If so, then CHC is looking for exceptional people with enthusiasm and a genuine interest in public service who are able to provide strategic leadership to the decision making Board of Cowes Harbour Commissioners. 

Candidates are sought who can demonstrate commitment and local knowledge. In particular, proven expertise in commercial law would be an advantage; however, this is not prescriptive and other skills and experience will also be considered, including port development and finance.
