Housing associations (also called Registered Providers) are governed by their ‘rules’ which define our not-for-profit objectives, shareholding membership and constitute the Board as our governing body. Board members have a wide range of skills and experience reflecting the services we provide, our customers and the size and financial complexity and strength of the business.
The Board’s role is to provide strategic direction, make sure that we are accountable and to support and advise.
Each association has a Board but the members combine their functions through a single governance meeting that is held six times during the year. In addition, the board members attend regular seminars, business planning and formal events.
The Boards are committed to high standards of corporate governance and have adopted the National Housing Federation’s ‘Excellence in governance’ code and good practice guidance.
