The Executive Board is the strategic level of the Partnership structure and brings together senior representatives of key organisations and elected representatives of our Thematic Partnerships.
It helps to shape the Sustainable Community Strategy and jointly agrees the key priorities, provides leadership and ensures effective partnership working across organisations and networks within the district.
The Terms of Reference for the Executive Board describe its purpose and structure. They also provide a basis for making future decisions and ensuring a common understanding of its role among partners.
