Board and Committees

 

At the inception of the UK-GBC, Founder Members pledged not just essential seed funding for two years, but also their time and energy. An initial Advisory Board of 14 was established, including 3 UK-GBC company directors (Chairman, Chief Executive and one other), which was unanimously endorsed by representatives of all Founder Members.

Click here for a list of our Advisory Board members. Representatives from each of the 38 Founder Members also volunteered to join one of the three committees that were established at that time (Technical; Public Affairs; Membership).

During the course of financial year 09-10, we hope to register the UK-GBC as a charity and establish a Board of Trustees which would in effect replace the statutory Board and the current Advisory Board. When it is established, this Board of Trustees may decide to establish one or more sub-committees to support its work. In the meantime, we have taken action to improve the existing advisory committee structure by effectively merging the Public Affairs and Technical Committees to create a Policy Committee and broadening the remit of the Membership & Marketing Committee.  Members can access papers associated with these committees by logging in and revisiting this page.
