THE deadline is fast approaching for receipt of nominations and voter registration forms for the election of three community and voluntary di- rectors to the board of the newly es- tablished Clare Local Development Company (CLDC).
CLDC is the new countywide organ- isation which will run the LEADER and Local Development Social Inclu- sion programmes in Clare as well as
the Rural Social Scheme, the Clare Wood Energy Project and a range of other local projects. A good deal of interest has already been shown by the community and voluntary sector in the election.
Monday, September 8, at noon is the deadline for receipt of nomina- tion and registration forms. Groups who have an interest in rural devel- opment, social inclusion, the envi- ronment, culture and community development are being encouraged
to get their forms in on time and get involved in the election.
It is essential for groups to real- ise that even if they do not wish to nominate a candidate, they must complete a voter registration form as only groups who are registered to vote will be able to decide who gets elected to the new board.
Ballot papers will be sent out by post to registered groups after Sep- tember 8 and forms are on www.trd. ie Of Www.eirl.org websites.
