The role of the Board is to provide guidance, support relationships and shape decisions on the strategic and operational activity of Active Essex. The Board focuses on system issues and priorities, supports our place work with communities and is accountable for its decisions – setting high standards for the organisation and holding the Active Essex senior management team to account.
Our Board members are recruited via an open advert process, appointed on a skills basis, are independent and reflect the diversity of the stakeholder landscape of Essex. It is central to the Active Essex ethos that physical activity and sport should be open and accessible to everybody. We strongly value diversity and strive to ensure that opportunities are available to all but do recognise that there are inequalities in participation opportunities, which affect specific sections of our communities.
