Governing Body

A governing body is a group of individuals responsible for overseeing and making decisions about an organization, such as a school, sports club, or company. They set policies, ensure rules are followed, and guide the organization’s direction. Members are typically elected or appointed and work collectively to ensure the entity runs smoothly, stays compliant with laws, and achieves its goals. The governing body provides leadership, accountability, and strategic oversight, acting as a authority that balances various interests and maintains the organization's integrity and effectiveness.
