The overall strategic direction of CVS Inverclyde is determined by our Board of Directors who are unpaid volunteers and also Trustees for the purposes of charity law.

Current Office Bearers are:

Karen Haldane, Chair - Karen is Executive Officer, Your Voice

Liz Bowden, Treasurer - Liz is Corporate Services Manager, Cloch Housing Association

Board Directors are:

James Lamb is Secretary, Children in Poverty Inverclyde

Linda McEnhill is Chief Executive Officer, Ardgowan Hospice

Directors are appointed at our AGM - usually around September/October each year. The Board also have the authority to co-opt up to two Directors on an interim basis between AGMs.
