We are seeking a visionary and creative leader to lead the Board and support our strategic aims to increase football’s reach to more members of our society, whilst continuing to meet the needs of our current, varied stakeholders."

Lizi Fields, Director of Novatalent, said: “We’re excited to be selected to manage this key recruitment project. It’s important that we identify an accomplished individual, with proven experience in governance and chairing a board, who has a passion for football and can be an ambassador for the work of the Lincolnshire Football Association in helping to deliver the vision of ‘One Lincolnshire Community, united and inspired by the power of football."
