The Chamber’s Board is unusual in that it is comprised almost entirely of non-remunerated, Non-Executive Directors, with only one Executive Director of the company.

Directors of Staffordshire Chambers are expected to carry out their duties to the highest standards of professionalism and integrity, bringing to the organisation wide experience, independent judgment and critical detachment. Directors are expected to regularly attend meetings of the Board and any sub-committee to which they are appointed, together with other meetings and events where their presence could be reasonably expected. Directors should enhance their effectiveness and knowledge of the Chamber through training or other appropriate means.

To prevent potential misunderstandings, on appointment each Director is required to provide the Company Secretary with a documented list of his/her business activities, updated annually, which could give rise to a conflict of interest when carrying out his/her duties as a Director of the Chamber. These will be recorded formally and made available if requested by a member of the Chamber. Changes to this declaration must be submitted promptly.
