Two elected members of the Governing Board come to the end of their first term of appointment this year and so elections are being held.  The majority of Governing Board members are elected by Cochrane Members to ensure that the needs of the membership are reflected at board level. All Cochrane Members have one vote for each position available, so in this case members will have two votes. 

The call for nominations opened on 6 November 2023 and closed on 24 November 2023. There are seven candidates standing for election, they are:  

Lainie Cameron  

Sharon Einav  

Juan Franco (standing for re election)  

Vanessa Jordan  

Tamara Kredo (standing for re election)  

Rupesh Raina  

Aidan Tan  

Candidate statements can be found on the elections website link Elections to the Cochrane Governing Board 2023 | Cochrane Elections along with information about how to vote.     

Voting opened on Friday 1 December 2023 and closes on Friday 15 December 2023.  

All Cochrane Members are encouraged to promote the elections, although canvassing for specific candidates is not allowed. You can find out more on the Promoting & Communicating page of the elections website.    

The election will be conducted electronically via the elections website and will be overseen by Lucy Johnson-Brown, Head of Governance and Electoral Officer for this election.
