The Committee received a report reminding members that West Norfolk Housing Company currently had 5 Directors. This was the minimum number as laid out in the company’s Articles of Association which stated a minimum of 5 and maximum 12 Directors were required for the Board. The Social Housing regulator had recommended that at least 3 Independent Directors should be on the Board.  The company recently invited applications for people to join the Board of Directors and interviews had recently taken place.

The Shareholder Committee considered that the West Norfolk Housing Company Board should take the decision on who to appoint as members of the Board.

Under standing order 34 Councillor Ware indicated she had not been involved in the recruitment process or seen the applications of interested parties.  The WN Housing Board was shortly due to consider the paper.
