Council of Governors Representation Committee meetings

Our Council of Governors Representation Committee meets at least four times a year. It draws together the work of Trust involvement, Governors, Membership and members' issues into one forum.  It is governor-led and enables them to perform their general duties in representing the membership of the Trust and the wider public.

In usual circumstances, meetings are held in public and therefore anyone is welcome to attend as an observer. There is also an opportunity to ask questions during the first 15 minutes of the meeting, but only governors and invited guests may speak following this.
