Others in attendance at Board meetings:
We have seven sub-groups, all with the responsibility of developing different strands of our work.
Each group reports back to our main Board:
Culture and Visitor Economy sub-group
In addition to our sub-groups, we also have two formal committees who make recommendations to our main Board.
Board and sub-group meetings:
In-line with our governance structure and assurance framework, every quarter, our Executive Board meet. Our sub-groups feed into these meetings through regular meetings too.
