The Board operates under a model of strategic governance, whereby the Board links the legal and values of the organisation, produces explicit governing policies and assures CEO performance by establishing clear expectations for performance and clear mechanisms for accountability. The purpose of the Board, on behalf of relevant stakeholders, is to see to it that Housing Plus achieves its outcomes. It has in place eight principles to guide its actions:
The policies set out the functions and responsibilities and main operating mechanisms of the Board in order to clarify Board and management accountabilities for the organisation’s strategic direction and performance, including CEO delegations, risk oversight and control, compliance, as well as processes to be followed to manage conflicts of interests, recruitment and appointment of new Directors and induction.
The Board has standing committees to assist in the execution of the Board’s responsibilities. They do not abrogate any Directors of their responsibilities. Each committee has Board approved terms of reference, which are reviewed regularly. All meetings are minuted and reported to the Board on their activities.
