The aim of our executive committee is to provide us with an employer-led focus and a strategic direction within a UK policy framework.
Through a joint chair arrangement, both Russell Ward (chief leisure and recreation officer at Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council) and Chris Jennings (senior lecturer at the University of Wales Institute Cardiff) chair meetings of our executive committee within Wales.
