Governance

ECH Inc is a not-for-profit charitable Association governed by a Board of Directors who are responsible for directing its business affairs. The primary role of the members is to set the strategic directions and overarching policies to meet the objectives of ECH’s Constitution and to ensure the organisation complies with its regulatory requirements at all times.

Our Board deliberately seeks to maintain a profile with a broad age and skills base. Life experience enables genuine empathy for the needs of our residents and clients, whilst business expertise enables sound planning and decision-making.

A number of strategic workshops were held during the past year, involving both the Board and the Executive Team as well as the Senior Leadership Group of the organisation. These provided the opportunity to analyse market information and the extensive internal and external stakeholder surveys we conducted during the year. Together with the feedback sent directly to the Chief Executive, these survey findings inform our planning and processes so that we respond appropriately to what our customers tell us.

Our Board continues to be dedicated to efficiently and effectively leading an organisation that advocates for and supports older people to live their lives.
