Board and committees
The group and its subsidiaries are overseen by a number of boards and committees. They set the strategic direction and provide challenge and scrutiny.

Board and committee membership explained
We are committed to achieving the highest standard of governance. We recruit to our Boards and Committees based on skills and values, ensuring that Members have the right approach to steer and safeguard the organisation.
Our Chief Executive is always an Executive Member of our Board. Members of our Executive Team, including the Chief Executive, also sit on the boards of whg’s subsidiary companies. However, Executive Members do not vote on items that will affect them directly, such as the terms of their contracts, and they do not get paid for being on a Board.
Board and committee membership is for a fixed term and we operate in accordance with the requirements contained in the National Housing Federation Code of Governance.
If you would like more information about anything to do with our Boards and Committees, or to request our register of Board and Committee Member Declarations of Interest, please contact the Governance Team on: Governance.Team@whgrp.co.uk
