Current Vacancies

What does the Executive Committee do?

VAC is managed by an Executive Committee which is elected annually. Executive Committee Members are nominated by VAC Members in accordance with the requirements of the Memorandum and Article of Association (our governing document).

The Executive Committee is VAC’s governing body and sets the overall strategy and direction of the organisation.  They also hold responsibility for  are responsible for the efficient and lawful governance of charities and not-for profits.  It employs a paid Executive Director to oversee the daily management of the organisation and to deliver the organisation’s aims and objectives.

Some of the roles of a trustee include:

• To ensure that the charity remains true to its mission and values
• To determine its strategy
• To act as the point of final accountability for its actions and those of its representatives and staff
