vi)       maintain a key focus on annual work programmes and their implementation through quarterly reporting and regular workshops with the whole local board, with decisions made at business meetings.

c)         note that portfolios are an optional mechanism that can play a part in sharing the workload across board members, that leads should act as a champion with the local board on specific topic areas, focus on work programme activities/ projects within their topic areas and understand relevant community needs and preferences enabling other members to focus their time on other parts of the local board’s workload.

e)         note that portfolio leads have advocacy leadership for their area of responsibility, including developing feedback on regional policies, plan and strategies relevant to their topic area, however for full local board approval this must be done at a business meeting.

f)          each portfolio lead should consider and develop new ideas and initiatives for inclusion in the local board plan and subsequent work programmes. Therefore, no new ideas or initiatives are progressed without being considered and approved by the board, usually at workshops in the first instance.

g)        each portfolio lead must keep other members of the board team up-to-date at members’ workshops, and / or in monthly Board Members’ reports in the agendas of the board’s business meetings, as all members of the board have a collective responsibility for the actions of the individual members in delivering on the projects and work programme.

h)        if the lead is unavailable, then the alternate will act in their place. The lead must notify the alternate to act as the lead if they are unavailable, and also notify staff that the alternate is acting in their place.
