Our Executive Group

The One Nottingham Board on 25th September approved revised governance arrangments for the Partnership. This included approving arrangements for the One Nottingham Executive body to be known as the Executive. The original group was introduced in September 2007 to provide a key support role to the One Nottingham Board.

The Executive will take responsibility for the achievement of strategic objectives and report progress to the Board, as well as any risks to success. It will coordinate high level planning, including cross-thematic activity, and oversee the Performance Management Framework for the Partnership. It will recommend financial strategy to the Board, will drive Partnership development and ensure effective locality working.

For more detail on the Executive's roles and responsibilities, please see the One Nottingham Governance document at the right hand side of this page.

Membership

Membership of the Executive will reflect the principal partners who contribute resources (both financial and 'in kind') to the Partnership and will be subject to the approval of the Board. Members will hold chief officer status within their organisation or be a named deputy. The Executive will appoint a Chair and Vice-Chair on an annual basis. Any partner stakeholder may nominate a Chair/Vice-Chair for the group. Nominees may come from within any stakeholder organisation in Nottinghamshire. The appointments will be determined by a majority of the Executive membership. The Executive will be quorate when a majority of the voting members are present.

Nottingham City Council - Chief Executive

NHS Nottingham City - Chief Executive

Nottinghamshire Police - City Commander

Job Centre Plus - District Manager

Decision Making

Decisions will normally be made by consensus. Where the Chair deems consensus to be unachievable within a reasonable timeframe, a decision will be made and will be valid provided that:

(i) It has been agreed by a majority of the membership, i.e. the number agreeing represents a majority of the total membership entitled to vote, whether present or not, but if the decision relates to expenditure for individual partners, each partner affected must be in favour of the decision.

(ii) The proposed actions fall within the statutory and regulatory framework governing the operations of the partner organisation.

Frequency

The Executive will meet no less than four times a year, with additional meetings convened with the agreement of the Chair or by a resolution supported by a majority of Executive members. However meetings of the Executive will not be open to the public and press.
