As Greater Govanhill CIC continues to grow, we're looking for new board members. We're particularly interested in members with experience of running social enterprise, business management, HR, media sales or finance. Ideally we're looking for people who live in or near Govanhill and we'd also like the board to reflect the diverse make-up of our community. However, the main thing we're looking for is enthusiasm and commitment to the project.
Board members work to provide strategic direction, set organisational aims and ensure that the organisation remains true to its purpose.The directors are also responsible for ensuring that the company meets its statutory and other obligations.

The board meets every three months, usually in person in our Govanhill office.
