Oxford United are delighted to invite supporters to submit applications to join the newly established Fan Advisory Board (FAB).
The FAB represents a significant development in the approach to supporter engagement and will serve as a formal structure to ensure fans have a platform for more meaningful and consistent dialogue with the Club.
The board’s remit will cover a wide range of off-field topics, such as the Club’s strategic vision and objectives, proposals relating to significant changes to Club heritage assets, stadium issues and updates and plans for broader supporter engagement.
Succeeding the Oxford United Supporters Panel (OUSP), to ensure continuity, existing OUSP independent representatives will move across to the FAB until the end of their current terms of office, with two places available each year through an election process. In addition, three nominated members from OxVox will sit on the board, as well as there being seats set aside for other supporter groups.
The Club itself will be represented on the FAB by Chief Commercial & Marketing Officer, Adam Benson, and Supporter Liaison Officer, Aaron Kightley, with the CEO, Chairman and other senior Club staff attending selected meetings.
To apply, please fill in the FAB application form which can be found HERE.
Applications are now open to join the FAB. Please see below for key dates and information:
The election process consists of four stages: application, shortlisting, interview and election
It is anticipated that FAB members will be expected to attend meetings approximately every four to six weeks
There will be two places available as part of this election cycle
Applications to join the FAB can be submitted from Wednesday 4 June until Tuesday 24 June
As part of the application process, you will be asked to provide answers to a number of questions including what Oxford United means to you, why you are interested in joining the FAB, what relevant experience you have and what would make you an effective representative.
