Local Enterprise Office seeking new committee members
WEXFORD COUNTY Council is inviting experessions of interest from suitably qualified and experienced individuals to serve on the Evaluation and Approvals Committee of the Local Enterprise Office (LEO) in Wexford.
The Evaluation Committees consist of the Director of Services for Economic Development and Planning, a representative from Enterpise Ireland, and five individuals with specific areas of business expertise.
There is no remuneration attached to the position. Prospective members should have: experience in assessing financial proposals and an ability to challenge company submissions; broad business experience and a clear ability to empathise with challenges facing micro and small enterprises; and the ability to demonstrate their understanding and experience in the micro and small enterprise sectors.
Of particular interest is what particular skill sets the candidate would bring and it is asked that each applicant set out their expertise in entrepreneurship, debt/banking and/or cash-flow management expertise, equity and/or investment expertise, financial and/or business qualifications, business development, marketing/sales/sectors, and technology.
The council will give consideration to principles of broad equality and gender balance in deciding on committee members and, due to the need to have the relevant mix of knowledge and expertise, will not necessarily be confined solely to those who submit applications.
Expressions of interest should be sent by email to: info@ leo.wexfordcoco.ie by July 13, 2018.
