  • Attracting and developing a board that is diverse in skills, experience and thinking style
  • Are we moving the dial on board diversity? How do we identify and overcome the barriers?
  • What are the advantages and disadvantages of having tenants on the board?
    o What other governance structures are available to ensure they can influence the board
    o Ensuring a culture where tenants are treated respectfully and their voice is valued
  • What does a good board culture look like and how do you equip members with the skills to get underneath the data and ask the “so what” questions?
  • Strengthening the link between frontline staff and the board – how can we ensure their voice is heard and influences decisions?
