The Executive performs a more hands-on role and manages the co-ordination of activity across the Partnership Theme Groups.
Crucial to this is the overall management of the programme ensuring that the activity; (1) accurately reflects the evidence base contained in the Strategic Economic Assessment; (2) is balanced and (3) importantly is closely aligned to local priorities.
The Executive meets six times a year.
