Board Meetings

The International Board normally meets up to five times a year, in the UK or via telephone conference. 

From time to time, the International Board sets up ad hoc working parties supported by the relevant staff member, to look more closely at issues of particular concern and to report back with recommendations to the full Board. 

Trustees are elected on to the Board and serve a tenure of 3 years before standing for re-election. A list of current Trustees and their occupation can be found at the end of this page.

Trustees are encouraged to take an interest in VSO beyond the Board meetings and are welcome to attend training courses, conferences and recruitment events to consult with any staff member on issues of concern or to request copies of any reports produced within the organisation. Members wishing to follow up any particular area do so through the Group Director or the Chief Executive.
