The Board's central role is to direct the association's work
by determining strategic direction and policies in an effective
and accountable way.
The Board delegates operational management - the implementation
of Board policies and strategy - to bpha's staff,
led by the Chief Executive and Management Team.
Members of the Board include residents who are elected by other
residents, councillors nominated by Bedford Borough Council in
accordance with the terms of our transfer agreement with the Council
in 1990, and independent members selected to meet specific skills
and expertise needed to control and direct a large social enterprise.
All Board members share responsibility for the Board's decisions.
bpha has continued to streamline the Board in
accordance with acknowledged good practice on governance.
Following a comprehensive review of governance and Board structure
in early 2009, we are now looking to modernise and enhance our
Board with outstanding candidates who can demonstrate strong
commercial and business acumen in property development, financial
and treasury management or commercial law
