Alistair Yates CMILT BSc (Hons) APM Ch. Dip – Trust Nomination Notes
After 18 years away from the Trust, I am seeking nominations for election to BoS to main its stability and ongoing development. I helped shaped the initial vision and constitution of the Trust, I actively led the recruitment and the financial management of the Trust when a Trustee and Chair in the first 8 months. I opened the bank account and recruited the first 30 members to the Trust. Looking back at the records we raised £4,200 in the first 4 months following the opening of the account, we secured two commercial sponsors and bought £1,000 training equipment for the then manager Noel Blake. He was very supportive of the Trust at the time. I think the founding group should be recognized in a small way to celebrate 20 years of the Trust shortly. I would like them to be thanked, there are many unsung heros missed in published Trust history, they should be recognized for their hard work!
I have been active 1931er since the fund start and my family are members. Both my children are Junior Grecians and avid fans, I have supported the club since 1975. I have been a member of supporter’s groups in the past, and I support all Red Legion displays financially. I have sponsored players in the past and obtained sponsorship for players - Christian Riberio.
Away from Exeter I am an FA qualified Level 1 coach retired, having run a cup winning youth team for 3 years. I still referee matches in my local area to support local football. I am retired member of Round Table; I have help raise thousands of pounds in my local area through Santa floats, charity events and a the local beer festival in the summer. I have probably been part of raising £150k for charity locally over the last 10 years.
I have run my own supply chain business consultancy for the last 8 years. I am a certified project manager by formal exam and I am a business specialist in organisational change and development. I have used these skills working in 30 countries to transform businesses and turnaround organisations, maintaining business compliance and assurance. I have worked with board directors of major PLCs and businesses from £250M to £2Bn.
I am looking to maintain the stability of the Trust, support the ongoing development of the Trust to increase its brand awareness, while looking at commercial opportunities to develop Trust. I would like to tweak the Trust model to make the money paid in work harder for the Trust and club, to make the club we love safer for the future. I would like to get closer to the RED LEGION and encourage them to develop, I would supporter groups and community groups to develop the Trust within the younger generations.
I applaud and encourage more women in football to make the experience better for daughter in the future. I would reach out to members that may have left, to explain why they are important to our club. As I know some of some hard-core supporters that have left. I wish to develop the club relations to increase dialog and help shape targets, mould the mission and make sure targets are achievable, met or set for success. I want to increase youth membership of the Trust and encourage diversity. From a digital perspective I want to further improve communications and put in place electronic voting systems if practical and for nominations next year. I would also like to develop the PR of the Trust through celebrating the history and engaging the local and national media.
I live out of the area, but I attend matches regularly, I would attend meetings as required. I am available many match days for a conversation. With digital technologies I am confident I could be active for the Trust; I did do much work in the past while I was working away in Thailand. I would treat your nomination vote with great care and responsibility. I understand the Trust are seeking competences I possess and would be delighted to volunteer. Always ask a busy person to do a job!
Thanks! Al

I have added some minor elements to my published nomination to add more detail. I am at Scunthorpe, Plymouth and Bradford for people to ask questions. Subject to business commitments I may be at the Hustings, but Friday night living 180 miles away from Exeter is going to be a challenge at relatively short notice, the night before Bradford away. I will do my best, if not I hope the Trust will be able to setup a live link up. If not I ask for your patience and consideration.
