Our elected board | The Dons Trust

The Dons Trust Board (DTb) runs the Dons Trust and is currently made up of nine people elected by the Trust’s members The board is entitled to co-opt up to three further members, to help with its work and to add diversity, skills and experience.

As well as ensuring the Dons Trust is run according to the decisions and aspirations of members, the role of the DTb is to set and embed the culture, mission and strategic direction of the trust and club, in consultation with members, and to ensure that AFC Wimbledon is managed to achieve that direction. The DTb appoints the operational board (the board of AFCW PLC) and is represented on that board. It also approves annual budgets and significant investment decisions.

The board usually meets once a month and minutes of board meetings are published, along with regular summaries of the discussions. The board also produces a monthly newsletter which is emailed to members.

The board takes collective responsibility for its work. All board members are engaged together in consulting, agreeing, monitoring and updating our strategic direction. The rest of the board’s work is organised into theme groups, as below. Each group has terms of reference and membership agreed by the full board. Any significant proposals or recommendations come to the full board for discussion and decision.

Board members are listed below. Each board member plays a part in at least two of the theme groups and individual responsibilities are agreed within the groups.

We hold at least three members’ meetings a year – all at our stadium of course. There are other events organised (online and in-person) where you can chat to board members – keep an eye on the website and the Dons Trust twitter @TheDonsTrust . A couple of board members are on hand at the Dons Trust kiosk (behind the Movers stand, in the fan zone) before home matches. You can share your thoughts by email to info@thedonstrust.org or with an individual board member using the addresses below, and members can engage on the Dons Trust ProBoards forum, with fellow members and the board.
