Annual General Meetings
Each year the current ENCOMM Charity Trustees step down. We need a Chair, Treasurer and a maximum of 5 other Trustees to continue to be a legal entity. Duties are not too onerous – We meet formally four times a year (roughly each quarter) to make decisions on any applications for project funding.
To become a Trustee you must be over 18 and live in East Nairnshire.

The TRUSTEES
Contrary to popular belief, ENCOMM is not a windfarm organisation! We are all ordinary local residents with a little bit of experience here and there who came together in 2019 to disburse community benefit funds from the Tom-Nan-Clach windfarm.
Chair – Martine Scott (Lethen)
