Meet Our Management Board

Caledonia is run by a voluntary Management Board.  The Board play a vital role in setting out our business plans and priorities and makes important decisions about our policies, services and activities. The also ensure that we are a well governed organisation that complies with all legal and regulatory requirements and achieves good outcomes for our customers.  

The Board holds six business review meetings and three forward planning “strategy” meetings during the year.   Copies of minutes of our Management Board meetings are available to view in the “Our Documents”  section of the website.  

We have a Group Audit & Risk Management Committee, which oversees our control systems, risk management and internal audit reports.  We also have a Group Remuneration Committee, which establishes and reviews staff terms, conditions and remuneration and a Group Development Committee, which supports the Governing Bodies in the Group in the discharge of their duties relating to the appraisal of new build development projects and the oversight of committed and pipeline projects.  All Committees consist of four appointed Management Board members and a representative from our housing partner, Cordale Housing Association. You can find more information about how our governance arrangements work in our Standing Orders.
