Our Board members give their time voluntarily to support the LEP.

The Board is required to approve the LEP’s significant and strategic decisions, including annual budget and business plans and the Economic Strategy for Norfolk and Suffolk. It also retains overall responsibility for risk and performance.

The LEP Board is also the decision-making body for areas covered by its sub boards and committees. Any delegation of decision making by these boards must be agreed by the LEP board.
Our Assurance Framework covers how our board is formed and governed, how our decisions are made and how our programmes are funded and managed. The Assurance Framework also provides the Government with assurance that the LEP is operating correctly.
We publish a Register of Interests for each LEP Board member. Declarations of interests are also recorded in the minutes of the monthly Board Meeting and are managed in accordance with our Standards of Conduct Policy  to which all employees and Board Members adhere.

Private sector Board members are recruited to an agreed role description and all Board members are required to sign a non-executive Director Agreement which sets out their governance responsibilities.
