Our board is challenged with the responsibility of ensuring that the CVSF is managed effectively. Additionally, the board of trustees oversee the strategic development of the organisation to ensure that it will continue to best serve the needs of its members and therefore the community at large.

We are a very open organisation and managed transparently. There are several documents youmay wish to readif you are interested in how we are governed and managed.
