Our Boards

Our two boards oversee the work of The Housing Forum and are drawn from our membership.

About our boards

The focus of our policy and practice is steered by our Main Board. Board members’ expertise provides unrivalled insight into the whole of the housing sector. Membership is drawn from across the sector and member organisations can nominate a senior employee to join when vacancies occur, and can vote. Board meetings take place in January, April, July and November.

The Housing Forum has a Management Board of six, consisting of the company directors who have corresponding legal duties and make key financial and strategic decisions.

The Chair

The current Chair is Stephen Teagle, CEO Partnerships and Regeneration, Vistry Group and the Deputy Chairs are Jamie Ratcliff, Founding Director, Placebase, and Katie Saunders, Partner, Trowers & Hamlins
