The Executive Committee is made up of a Vice Chair (currently the Chief Executive of Officers’ Association, Lee Holloway), and 17 Cobseo member organisations, of whom seven are permanent and are represented by their Chief Executives or equivalents. The Directors of Cobseo are often asked to take the lead in major issues and projects that have been identified as needing a collective approach on behalf of the Cobseo Executive. Within its constitution, the Executive Committee of Cobseo is empowered to co-opt specialist knowledge or opinion to further its objectives.
