Trustees & Governance
The Deafness Resource Centre is governed by a board of Trustees referred to as the Management Committee. The Trustees and co-opted members are responsible for the overall operation and management of the charity and ensuring that all legal and statutory obligations are met. The Trustees delegate the day to day management of the organisation to the Chief Officer and staff team.
The Trustees meet bi-monthly and hold the Annual General Meeting in October each year.
