Vectis is governed by people from the local community who give their time voluntarily. Their role is to ensure that Vectis is properly run as a viable business, and within the boundaries of the law and regulation.

Board members possess a wide range of skills and experience, which combine to make an effective unit. This normally includes representation from two Vectis tenants.

The Board currently meets every six to eight weeks. In addition to dealing with routine matters, each meeting based around a particular theme of either:

• Governance, Policy, and Strategy, or
• Finance, or
• Housing management and maintenance, or
• Best Value and Continuous Improvement

There is also an Audit and Risk Committee, which meets half-yearly to review the annual audited accounts with the Auditors, budgets for the forthcoming year, treasury management, and staffing matters.

Sub-groups are formed from time to time to consider specific topics delegated to them by the main board.

Each of these bodies comprise members of the Board itself, and report to the Board.
