Our Board
Lincoln BIG is controlled by the BIG board of 15 directors. Five directors are appointed to the board by Lincoln BIG members, three by our investor members, two each by our founder members and three by co-opted directors, which includes the University of Lincoln and the Bailgate Area Guild, to ensure diverse representation on the board.
We hold our AGM in October each year.
If you are interested in becoming a director of Lincoln BIG, please feel free to talk to us. Appointments will be published formally before each AGM.
