Members of the Board of Directors are also trustees of the charity as per requirement in charity law. Directors are
elected at our Annual General Meeting (AGM) and may be appointed at other times during the year. The member
directors shall serve on the board for a period of 3 years and upon expiry of that 3-year period, they may stand for
re-election. The maximum number of directors is twelve, however, Stepping Stones is historically a user led
organisation, therefore, out of the maximum number of directors, no more than eight shall be Member Directors and no
more than four shall be Co-opted Directors. In terms of Director meetings, a minimum of three Directors should be
present, but in all meetings, a majority of those Directors in attendance should be Member Directors.
