The meetings schedule shows planned meetings of the Board of Trustees and the Executive and of committee meetings, but some committees meet only when it becomes necessary.
The committee structure and responsibilities are defined in the Standing Orders and Practice Book. The table below gives a brief summary of the key responsibilities of each committee or role. Full details can be found in the Practice Book. All committees report to the Executive. The Executive is responsible to the Board of Trustees.
A guide for the chairs of committees has been drafted.
Federation officers are listed on pages linked from the Federations page, together with the Federation Coaching Officer and Development Officer, who are members of the relevant committee.
The Board of Trustees comprises 11 voting members. Following the initial period, six of the charity trustees will be elected from regional constituencies and 5 will be appointed to supplement the experience and expertise already possessed by the elected trustees and to meet the requirements and recommendations of Sport England. The Secretary, the Treasurer, the Chief Executive Officer and the President attend the meetings of the Board but do not have a vote.
