Minutes:
Suzanne Jones, Support to Divisional Director Finance, presented a report which proposes to confirm formal arrangements for substitution for the Employer Representative on the Board for future meetings.
It is proposed that any employed senior officer (i.e. grade LP07 or above) that is a member of the Resources Directorate Leadership Team, except for the Divisional Director, Finance and Procurement and the Divisional Director HR and Transformation (or any future posts that cover those areas of responsibility) be allowed to substitute for the Employer Representative on the Board.
Members were advised that Minesh Jani, (Service Head, Risk Management LBTH) Representing Pension Fund Employers, would be their permanent member on the Pensions Board and that attendance to meetings will not be rotated between senior officers. This is to ensure continuality. All senior officers will be given appropriate training before being appointed as a substitute.
Members held a discussion on whether there should also be substitutes for Active Fund Members Representatives and requested that Officers provide feedback about the suitability of this arrangement. The meeting noted that prospective representatives would need to be vetted to ensure that they do not have any conflicts which could affect their role.
RESOLVED
1. that any employed senior officer (i.e. grade LP07 or above) that is a member of the Resources Directorate Leadership Team, except for the Divisional Director, Finance and Procurement and the Divisional Director HR and Transformation (or any future posts that cover those areas of responsibility) be allowed to substitute for the Employer Representative on the Board.
2. to agree any proposed substitute from the above recommendation must undergo appropriate training as set out in the terms of reference. Once this training has been undertaken that officer will be listed in the Board Membership as a substitute.
3. that enquiries be made on whether a similar arrangement could be arranged for Active Fund Members Representatives.
