What is the difference between a Trustee and an Independent Committee Member?

Trustees

Scope’s Trustees are Company Directors. Trustees are responsible for the strategic direction of Scope. Trustees can approve any recommendations made by Committees. And they can make any other decisions acting in the best interests of the Charity. Decisions are made collectively as a Board.

Independent Committee Members

Scope’s Independent Committee Members supplement the skills mix of Trustees by providing expertise and experience to the Board’s Committees. This allows Independent Committee Members to guide and challenge our Board and Executive Leadership. In doing so, they help shape and support Scope’s new strategy.

Together, both roles help ensure Scope achieves its mission and goals.
