Structure of board
COPEScotland Trustees have lived experience of the issues COPEScotland seeks to address to ensure we are led by the voices of lived experience and, or, the skills and experience to ensure good governance is in place to meet the Charity Objectives.
Meetings of COPEScotland are open apart from staffing subgroup meetings for transparency and to support ownership by members and stakeholders.
There are regular strategic planning and review meetings involving not only Trustees but others with an interest in the direction of travel for COPEScotland who are committed to the principles of co design and production.
At COPEScotland the Board works by reaching a collective understanding of the issues, dealing with the options, choosing one, and unanimously supporting the decision even if an individual initially voted against it.
Trustees are Team players, who join the board because they support COPEScotland's mission and values. Board members do not participate to implement individual agendas but to help the organisation effectively meet its responsibilities.
