Current Forum Chair Peter Howden said:
“We’re delighted to have a full Board with a healthy mix of new and longer-standing members. The Forum is expecting another busy year, with both opportunities and challenges for community controlled housing associations.
“One of those challenges is succession planning in relation to both boards and senior staff, and in conjunction with our colleagues at SHARE and EVH we’ll be doing an important piece of work in the coming months to look at what members have been doing or could do to attract new board/committee members and succession plan to deal with senior staff retirements”.
