Candidates for The Board of Deputies
The Board of Deputies of British Jews is the democratically elected representative organisation of the UK Jewish community. Anyone member of FRS (over 18) can stand to be a Deputy. Deputies represent FRS at the Board of Deputies and they are responsible for voting for the President, Vice Presidents and Treasurer. They also help to formulate policies at plenary meetings as well as within the four divisions of the Board of Deputies.
Elections take place every three years or when an existing Deputy stands down. For more information about the role of a Deputy, please click here to watch this short video.
Deputies are encouraged to attend approximately eight plenary meetings per year. These meetings are hybrid style so they can attend in person or online. Please contact hon.sec@frs.org.uk for more information.
