Physical Activity Ambition: “ Leeds to be the best city in which to be active ” Primary outcomes • A long term commitment to increasing physical activity levels in the city, especially where levels of inactivity of persistently high. • Building, creating and enabling an environment that supports systems/collaborative working • Building our national and international reputation for World Class Sport • Delivering wider community and personal benefit through physical activity and sport
The Proje ject Team are currently working to the foll llowing tim imescales / phases; • Phase 1 September 2018 – March 2019: pre-conversation preparation • Phase 2 April – September 2019: city-wide conversations (to become an ongoing process) • Phase 3 September 2019 – January 2020: development of a draft shared vision / ambition for physical activity • Phase 4 January 2020 – April 2020: physical activity ambition action planning • Phase 5 June 2020 onwards: physical activity ambition implementation
New Governance Pro roposals • A small group of stakeholders has come together to develop proposals around the governance of the new Physical Activity Ambition. • The outcomes of conversations will form the basis for the establishment of a new entity to take this important leadership role. • It’s proposed that the new entity should take the form a new unincorporated body tied by an MOU with member organisations having oversight of a board of directors. • The board of directors will be responsible for executing the physical activity ambition.
7 Governance Pri rinciples 1. The new board should be responsible for signing off the new Ambition and its implementation. 2. The role of the Board needs to be scoped . It will form a key part of the Board recruitment process. 3. The form of the new Board Governance arrangements should be that of a formal constituted partnership; • Board of Directors reports to “Member Organisations” • This creates an actual “partnership” of organisations that have agreed to work together • The Board of Directors will report to the Members on at least an annual basis. • The Board of Directors will be the decision making body; Members will only have powers that are outlined in the TOR. • Members would be represented at the highest level from within the organisation. • The actual body itself would be an unincorporated body through an MOU. 4. The Board of Directors needs to be composed of high calibre individuals who understand the value of physical activity and who have the right mix of skills and abilities (not about representation of sectors) 5. There should be a staged process in establishing the Board . The Chair should have as much ownership of the Board selection process as possible. 6. The process needs formal sign off. Proposed that the Council’s Executive Board it would offer a transparent and legitimate forum in which to give some assurance to the process. 7. Chair/Board should be appointed through an open recruitment process and solicited approaches.
