LSP Partnership Board

The Local Strategic Partnership Board has 26 members and is responsible for setting the vision or direction for the District, discussing common concerns, agreeing common goals, and overseeing progress against the agreed Community Strategy.

Role of the Partnership Board

The LSP Partnership Board has responsibility to:

  • set the vision of the LSP
    that is to be articulated in the District Community Strategy, and to be guardian of the wider partnership
  • set out LSP project / activity goals
  • endorse the LSP annual work plan
  • review the performance of the wider LSP
    re: the Management Committee and Project Groups in achieving the targets laid out in the Community Strategy, as well as the expenditure of any LSP budgets (including the Single Pot Fund)
  • direct how the information on the LSP’s activities is to be circulated to the partnership

Membership

The LSP Board consists of representatives of the organisations as laid out in Membership List.  Organisations nominate their own representative to sit on the Board.
Where the place on the Board is for a sector, or group of several organisations, it is for the organisations in that sector to nominate a person to represent the wider interests of that sector.
It is the responsibility of Board members to feed back from the LSP Board to either their own organisations, or if they are representing a sector or interest, the other groups in their sector.

  • The membership of the LSP Board will be reviewed every two to three years.
  • New members can be voted onto the Board if supported by two thirds of the Board membership present at the meeting. Nominations for members can come from any Board member, or the LSP Management Committee.

Frequency of Board meetings

At least three times each year (revised for 2010), usually in February, June and September.

Deputising arrangements

When a Board Member is unable to attend a meeting, they are able to nominate a representative to attend in their place. Board Members should contact the Corporate Administrator for the LSP at St Albans City and District Council with the name of their designated representative before the meeting. The deputising Board member will meet the same criteria and have the same rights as the Board Member for whom they are deputising.
