Carers Federation Board

The Role of The Board

The role of the Board is to:

* Determine strategy and priorities for the organisation
* Allocate resources
* Monitor performance
* Determine corrective action
* Re-evaluate strategy and reset priorities

The Board meet at least 10 times a year. These meetings are timed to allow the Board to monitor strategic performance on a quarterly basis, with sign-off in May of the Annual Accounts and Corporate Strategic Plan.

The Board has the power to establish a series of sub committees to allow Board members to focus on key aspects of the Federation's work in more details than would be possible at Board level. Current sub committees are:

* Marketing and Publicity
* Strategic Executive Team

- Selflessness

- Integrity
- Accountability
- Honesty
