Our Board
The Board is elected from among the members at the AGM. There are up to 15 places on the Board, which are split as follows:
- At least 2 tenants
- At least 2 service users (owner occupier)
- Up to 11 from any membership category
It is possible for people to be invited to join the Board provided co-options do not exceed one third of the number of elected members.
The Board meets most months and sub-committees can be set up to deal with particular aspects of the Association’s affairs.
The current sub-committees are:
The Board’s responsibilities are set out in the Standing Orders.
The Board is responsible for the Association’s strategies and policies like housing management, maintenance, finance, employment and governance.
Board members act in a voluntary capacity and do not receive payment for their work, only reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. They do not benefit from their position and cannot receive favourable treatment in any way – neither can their close relatives.
Serving as a Board member is both interesting and worthwhile. Training is available for Board members. If you are interested in becoming a Board Member, please contact us and ask to discuss this with the Chief Executive.
Minutes of our Board meetings are available here and agendas are available here.
