Purpose of the Management Committee

Our Management Committee is responsible for the overall governance and strategic direction of the organisation. They ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, oversee financial management, and set key policies. The Committee also monitors performance, ensures services meet tenants' needs, and supports the senior staff in delivering the association’s objectives. Members act in the best interests of the association and its residents at all times.

Who are the Management Committee?

Yorkhill's current Management Committee consists of both local residents and individuals with the area's best interests at heart.

At present, there are 9 elected members: 4 local residents and 5 others. Additionally, we were delighted to welcome one newly co-opted member in June 2025, as well as filling a casual vacancy. All committee members are unpaid, giving their time on a voluntary basis.

The Association requires to have a minimum of 7, and a maximum of 15 elected members. This means that there are spaces available should any local residents or people who want to see Yorkhill thrive be interested in volunteering. Please get in touch with our office if you'd like to know more.
