Board of Directors

The constitution (Memorandum and Articles of Association) of CCDT provides for a Board of up to 12 Directors

The draft constitution was the subject of consultation with members of the former Carnoustie Development Group whose membership included members of the public and representatives of a number of community groups such as Carnoustie Community Council, Colourful Carnoustie, the Gala Week Committee, Carnoustie Canine Capers and others. Once general approval of the draft constitution had been obtained, a number of people living or working in Carnoustie, with useful and relevant backgrounds, skills, and experience were approached to join the Interim Board for the purposes of getting CCDT formally established and registered with Companies House.
