The board consists of nine voting members, five elected (in a cycle of three years) for a term of three years at the Annual General Meeting (AGM), and up to four co-opted (by those elected) for a term of up to three years. Board members must be Devon Association of Governance (DAG) members.
At the first board meeting after the AGM the board elects a Chair and Vice-chair from within its voting members for a term of one year.
The board appoints a Clerk, Treasurer and officers as deemed appropriate, and they are ex-officio board members.
There is an Executive Committee (The Executive) who are responsible for the general management of DAG and for determining its Standing Orders. The Executive comprises of the Chair, Vice-chair(s), Clerk, Treasurer and other officers as deemed appropriate.
When governors represent DAG on groups created by the Local Authority we ask that they adopt associate board member status.
