Members of the Board of Governors are selected on the basis of their skills, expertise and commitment to The Place. An audit of Board members is conducted approximately every two years and matched against a regularly reviewed list of requirements. Board members are subject to re-election every two to three years, but in exceptional circumstances the Board may vote to extend this if The Place would particularly benefit as a result. The Board meets on average four times a year, and also convenes an Annual General Meeting, which other Members of the Association of the Company are invited to attend.

Copies of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Role Specification for Directors of Contemporary Dance Trust and the Statement of Corporate Governance are available from the Secretary to the Board (david.burnie@theplace.org.uk)
