Our Board is responsible for setting our long and short term strategy and direction, and for approving plans which will help us achieve our objectives. They also ensure we are operating effectively and that our activities are carried out within the law and in line with accepted standards of performance. They are also responsible for ensuring that we meet the Housing Corporation’s regulatory requirements.
