Meeting needs & objectives
Task & Finish Groups
Task and Finish Groups should be led by a member of the board/Executive Board or by a Board agreed representative.
The Cheshire LNP Goals and Objectives inform task and finish work and can be used as a reporting mechanism for those groups to the Exec Board and to the wider Cheshire LNP.
Membership of the task and finish groups is from the full LNP member organisations. The number and remit of these groups is fluid to meet the developing needs of the Cheshire LNP. Some of these are able to function effectively as email / virtual groups.
