VAL's Management Committee

The Management Committee of 15 people are ultimately responsible for the overall strategy of VAL and they are elected from among our wide variety of members. The Management, or Executive Committee meets quarterly. A Finance and Staff Sub-Committee also meets quarterly, midway between EC meetings.

The Executive delegates day-to-day operational responsibility to a Senior Management Team, under the leadership of the current director, Martin Howie.
