Who are the Council of Governors?
Every foundation trust has a Council of Governors whose main purpose is to represent the views and opinions of the organisation's members.
Governors stand for a term of three years and can stand for re-election on two more occasions (a total of nine years). Governors are made up of those elected by members and those appointed by our partner organisation.
Every year, the Trust hosts its elections for all outgoing Governor roles, as well as any vacant positions. The timeline for these can be as follows, with those successfully elected taking post for three years:
- Staff Governors - 2026
- Public Governors - 2027
- Service User and Carers - 2028
Check out the video below, where our Public Governor for North Kesteven, Carole Hagan, talks about her role as a governor, why she got involved, and why others should too!
