Revised assessment procedures for those wishing to stand for
Office as an Alderman, Sheriff or the Lord Mayor have been
introduced.
The objectives of the new procedures are to
- provide clear information for those contemplating standing for
Office as to what the role of an Alderman, Sheriff and Lord Mayor
involves; and,
- enhance the appraisal process for an Alderman who seeks to be
elected as a Sheriff or Lord Mayor.
Alderman Sir David Howard’s letter to the Livery (March
2005) and slide presentation describe the new procedures and
set them in context.
