Association Rules

Dorset EDG Association rules were updated at a Special General Meeting held on 14th July 2008.
Dorset EDG was initially formed as a body to assist in the re-deployment of displaced Simplot employees in 2003. It has evolved into a broader community economic development body, and it's rules were amended to more appropriately reflect Dorset EDG's current modus operandi. Provision was also made in the new rules to include a Dorset Council nominee as a designated position on the Dorset EDG board. The revised Dorset EDG Association Rules can be viewed here.

Membership of Dorset EDG is available to all persons on the Dorset municipality electoral role or General manager's role. Nomination to Active Membership procedures are explained in the Association Rules, and a nomination form for Active Membership can be viewed and printed here.
