The Board
The DFCSG Board is elected by the Owners. Its primary responsibilities are to ensure that the Football Club's strategy reflects the Owners' interests, to provide support and oversight to the Football Club Board, and to raise funds.
DFCSG Directors usually serve for a period of three years before standing down, with the option to seek re-election. Elections are held at the DFCSG AGM, usually held around October each year. Owners can stand for election to the Board. See the Elections page for more information.
