As part of the development and evolution of the Weekly News, we are introducing the members of the Cobseo Executive Committee through a series of content to introduce the Cobseo Executive Committee and staff team. Each member of the Executive Committee and staff team will be featured over the next year.
The Executive Committee is made up of a Vice Chair (currently the Chief Executive of the Forces Employment Charity, Alistair Halliday), and 17 Cobseo Members, of whom eight are permanent and are represented by their Chief Executive or equivalent. The Directors are often asked to take the lead in major issues and projects that have been identified as needing a collective approach. Within its constitution, the Executive Committee is empowered to co-opt specialist knowledge or opinion to further its objectives. As well as the Annual General Meeting, the Executive Committee meets four times a year to identify issues and concerns that affect the Armed Forces Community and agree on a collaborative and coherent direction to deliver solutions. These meetings are an opportunity for the committee to share information about plans and developments in their own organisations and how they might affect the whole of the Armed Forces Community.
Members of the Executive Committee will be introduced throughout the year, and profiles will be added to this page as they are shared in the newsletter.
