The process to elect two new members to Everton's Fan Advisory Board (FAB) is under way.
For 2024, the supporter body is looking for applicants who meet the eligibility criteria for the following two positions: • A current shareholder of Everton Football Club Company Limited (to serve a three-year term) • A Football Supporters’ Association representative (to serve a one-year term)
Supporters meeting the eligibility criteria for the above roles can put themselves forward for nomination by completing the application form here before 11.59pm on Friday 7 June.
For the 2024 election, there are no vacant positions for supporters with no eligibility criteria other than having an Everton supporter number. This is because the current incumbents of those roles are yet to complete their elected terms.
Applicants for the above stated positions are required to have had a supporter number as of 1 May 2024 and must submit a short biography and video outlining why they feel they are the right person to represent Everton’s global fanbase.
APPLY TO JOIN THE EVERTON FAN ADVISORY BOARD
Once the application window closes, a shortlisting panel comprising representatives of the Fan Advisory Board and Everton Football Club, and Evertonians Andy Burnham (Mayor of Greater Manchester) and Ellen Loudon (Director of Social Justice and Cannon Chancellor at Diocese of Liverpool), will then review the nominations before determining a final list of candidates. The shortlisting process will aim to ensure that the criteria for each available role can be met by multiple candidates on the final ballot list.
An online supporter vote will begin on Monday 17 June and run until 11.59pm on Sunday 30 June. The result will then be independently verified by the Football Supporters’ Association, before being confirmed on Club and FAB channels in early July.
Anyone with an Everton supporter number as of 1 May 2024 will be eligible to vote and will be asked to select their two preferred candidates. Each vote will carry equal weight and supporters will be able to allocate a maximum of one vote per candidate. More information on the voting process will be made available closer to the time of the election.
Once the election is complete, the FAB will comprise 11 members, as follows:

The two successful candidates in Everton’s 2024 Fan Advisory Board election have been confirmed and the result verified by the Football Supporters Association (FSA).
Evertonians with a supporter number were asked to choose their preferred candidate from two categories, with each vote carrying equal weight. The two categories covered:
A Shareholder of Everton Football Club Company Limited (to serve a three-year term) An Evertonian who is a Football Supporters’ Association member (to serve a one-year term) The result of the election which closed on Sunday 30 June, has now been independently audited and verified by the Football Supporters Association, with the two successful candidates being confirmed as:
Mark McKeown (Shareholder) Paul McMonnies (FSA) Paul McMonnies returns for a second term on the Fan Advisory Board, having been elected to the panel in 2023. He led the voting in the FSA category, taking 50% of the votes, and will now serve a one year term in the FSA position.
Mark McKeown will be a new face on the Fan Advisory Board representing the wider Shareholder base after receiving 47.1% of the vote in his category.
Both Mark and Paul will join the Fan Advisory Board with immediate effect and be part of the groups next quarterly meeting with the Club, which will take place later this summer.
Dave Kelly, Chair of the Everton Fans Advisory Board said: “I would like to commend all of the candidates who put themselves forward this year. Once again the standard of applications was extremely high and that has been evident by the calibre of candidates we have seen in this election.
“We look forward to welcoming Mark to the FAB and introducing him to the rest of the members. Paul has been a valuable member of the FAB for the past year and his re-election gives us a continuity as we head into the last season of Goodison Park and what could be an important era for the Club strategically.”
