The following is a list of things Board Members are likely to have to do:
• Act in the capacity of a director under the Companies Act.
• Participate in setting, implementing and monitoring the ALMO’s (St. Georges Community Housing) aims and values.
• Ensure that decisions taken by the Board are in the best interests of St Georges Community Housing, and that its legal and moral responsibilities are met.
• Approve budgets and challenge financial information about the ALMO business to make sure resources are being used wisely.
• Monitor St. Georges Community Housing’s performance.
• Work as part of a team at all times.
Essentially, the Board ensures that the ALMO works as effectively and efficiently as possible.
All Board Members share responsibility for the Board of Management’s decisions. All Board Members are expected to act in the best interests of the ALMO and not on behalf of any one area, or a group of tenants, leaseholders or others.
