Membership & the Management Committee
How we work
The Management Committee has overall responsibility for North View Housing Association. It:
- sets North View's strategic direction, through its role in developing and then approving the Business Plan;
- sets North View's policy, for the staff team to implement;
- oversees risks and North View's financial well-being;
- monitors the quality of the services that tenants receive, and;
- seeks assurance that North View is complying with legislation and regulatory requirements
Minutes and agendas of Management Committee meetings can be found here
The Management Committee exercise its control through regularly monitoring and evaluating the performance of the Association in all key areas. The Management Committee has set in place a reporting and review regime to help achieve this. The control processes are not foolproof, but are fit for purpose; they are proportionate and relevant to the activities that we undertake.
The Management Committee manages the Association in compliance with our Rules.
The Management Committee set the Association’s Strategic Objectives, and establish our strategy and policy base for our staff team to implement.
Staff are responsible for the day to day running of the Association, with the Senior Staff Team having organisational responsibility to i) ensure that the Association acts within the law and regulation, and ii) oversee implementation of Committee decisions, and set strategies.
Our staffing structure has evolved over the years in response to the changing challenges that we have faced. In it we establish the lines of management and seniority, and depict the teams and personnel responsible for carrying out duties within each service area.

Joining the Management Committee
We encourage residents to consider joining our Management Committee.
Being on the Management Committee takes up two or three evenings a month, but it gives you more opportunity to have your say on how we operate and what we do. There is quite a lot involved in being a Management Committee Member, but you will get help. The most important thing is that you bring your ideas about what we should be doing for our residents. Ideally we'd like to get someone from every part of the Windlaw area on the Management Committee. We are a bit short in some areas, but you’d be welcome no matter where you live.
You don’t have to be a resident of North View to join the Committee; any one aged 18 or over can join as long as they have the interests of North View at heart. There are other criteria for joining, all of which can be found in our Rules
There are a few ways to join the Management Committee. The usual way for members of the Association is to stand for election at our Annual General Meeting, but, if a full Committee Members leaves the Committee during the year, another member can replace them and be on the Management Committee until the next AGM. If there are spaces, another option is for someone to be co-opteed on to the Committee. They then become a co-opteed Committee Member and can stay on the Committee until the next Annual General Meeting (AGM) The co-optee route is open to Member and non-Members of the Association.
