The WDH Board

The Board of Wakefield and District Housing is responsible for, and makes decisions about, the policies and strategic direction of the organisation.

Its members are three tenants, three nominees from Wakefield Metropolitan District Council and three independents, chosen for their particular experience and / or expertise.

Tenant Board Members are elected annually over three years, on a rotational basis, and will serve no more than three years without re-election.

Nominations to fill Board vacancies are sought from Local Management Committee tenant representatives and any vacancies created are then advertised locally and in specialist black and minority ethnic press in order to attract all sections of our communities.

If you are interested in finding out more about becoming a member of the Board, you can email us at Boardmembers@wdh.co.uk.
