Governance

Our member representatives provide governance and strategic and financial direction to ensure we are a viable and sustainable organisation and that we make best use of membership funding.

The organisation has an external Honorary Treasurer position, provided by a local authority partner. We appoint external auditors to ensure transparency, compliance, and to submit our accounts to the Certification Officer on an annual basis. The day to day management and leadership is provided by the Chief Executive and Leadership Team. The organisation is staffed by a small core of highly experienced and committed officers, supplemented by a team of professional associates.

The objectives of the organisation are:

• To provide information, advice and direct assistance to constituents on the human resource and general management issues they face
• To promote best practice in workforce and organisational development
• To capitalise on our regional position by co-ordinating and managing networks which reflect key areas of interest for member organisations in the North West and identifying opportunities for joint working with partner organisations
• To liaise with and undertake consultation on behalf of the national local government employers (LGA)
