EEUK is governed by a Board of Directors elected by EEUK Associates on behalf of their Member Organisation.
The Board of Directors is EEUK’s overall decision-making body which delegates day-to-day decision making to an Executive Committee formed of the EEUK President, Vice-President, Finance Director and President Elect or Past President, supported by EEUK’s Operations Team.
The Board is supported by a Governance Finance and Remuneration Committee, and the longer-term direction setting of EEUK is informed by an Advisory Council composed of representatives of its Member Institutions as well as EEUK Honorary Fellows, Fellows, past Directors, and strategic partners.
This structure is summarised below.
EEUK’s Advisory Council, Board and Sub-Committees of the Board are populated by volunteers from our community of EEUK Associates; any employee of our Member organisations that identifies with our purpose of enabling excellence in enterprise education and start-up support.
The Board of Directors is elected each year, but the Associate roles on the Advisory Council are advertised and appointed as a vacancy arises. Below you will find a short overview of each group and a link to its Terms of Reference.
Advisory Council
The Advisory Council usually meets annually to help the EEUK Board of Directors determine strategic and operational priorities. Several groups of stakeholders are invited to participate including, EEUK Fellows, past Directors, and strategic partners.
