Board Champions Annual Review
Purpose and recommendations
The Board approved the Board Champions initiative on 27 February 2024 to reflect the role of Board members in adding value and engaging at strategic level to work with SEPA’s Executive team and colleagues on priority areas of work. This is the first formal annual review of Board Champion groups.
The Board is asked to:
- discuss and note the review of the board champions groups;
- approve the closure of the Sustainability & Climate Change group (currently on hold);
- approve the revised Terms of Reference (ToR) template (Appendix 3), including: (1) the updating of text around participation in board champions groups to make it clearer that it forms part of the board appraisal process, and (2) that a review date be added to the ToR as and when appropriate (see highlighted text).
- approve the “Customer Experience, Communications and Awards” and the “Future of Regulation” ToRs (Appendix 4) which adopt the proposed new style template set out in Appendix 3.
