Trustees

NICE is led by Marie McCann – Chief Executive and ultimate responsibility for NICE sits with its Board of Trustees.

Ultimate responsibility for the Foundation resides with the membership, which exercises its power through a Board of Trustees. The Board comprises both elected members and the nominees of certain institutions with elected members always in the majority. The Board meets routinely four times a year and is joined in its discussion by co-optees from users and staff and by the Foundation’s directorate. A vital function of the Board is to review at every meeting the progress of the Foundation’s development plan. All trustees are the directors of the company.

The Trustees have a range of skills in education, health and business with service-user representation to ensure that the views of the families are considered. They meet quarterly and are in regular contact with the staff.
