Like all Neighbourhood Houses, Reynard Street Neighbourhood House is managed by a voluntary Committee of Management, made up from members of the local community.
The Committee of Management provides RSNH with community “governance”, which includes developing strategic plans, policies, permanent staff appointment, monitoring finances and overseeing delivery of legal and contractual obligations. The CoM acts as the voice of our membership in line with the aims and objectives detailed in our Constitution. The Committee is required to meet a minimum of six times per year, but currently meets monthly on a Tuesday evening between 5.30pm and 7pm.
At present, our Committee members are:
Phil Day (Chairperson, Public Officer)
Owen Martin (Treasurer)
Matt Dravich
Cheryl McLachlan
Shannon Wiseman
What is the RSNH Committee of Management (CoM)?
Our Committee of Management (CoM) consists of at least five volunteers elected at the Annual General Meeting of RSNH by those members of our Association (House members) who attend the AGM on the day.
