Our Board

Our Board is responsible for the governance of the Association and its overall strategic direction.

Our Board is made up of a wide range of people from different backgrounds and occupations. Everyone brings their own different life, educational and work experiences. Of our twelve Board members, four are tenants of CCHA – housing associations are pretty unique in having service users at the very centre of the decision-making process. The other eight are made up of a variety of people e.g.  an accountant; people who work in housing, and local government; people with community interests; a town planner and a university lecturer.
