Board of directors

The work of the Brighton & Hove Food Partnership is overseen and steered by its Board of Directors who are elected at the Annual General meeting.

Who is on the board

The Board is accountable to members of the Food Partnership. Board members are elected each year at the annual general meeting. The Board is made up of up to nine Food Partnership members elected by the membership to represent the membership at Board level. These elected members are the directors of the company and are supported by appointed and co-opted members who add to the extensive range of skills and expertise on the Board. There is an appointed place for Food Matters (as founders) and for a Councillor from Brighton and Hove City Council.

What the board does

The Board of Directors meet quarterly to discuss finance, funding, campaigns, services, events, partnership working, membership and strategy. There is also a Finance Sub Committee who meet regularly and make recommendations to the Board based on financial reporting and accounts. Management reports are reviewed at each meeting and both the Director of the Food Partnership and the Chair report on recent activity and relevant business.
