LEADERSHIP TEAM OVERVIEW
Historically Cheshire Area had a hierarchical structure with several committees (Officers, F&GP, JDS&E and Social) responsible for the leadership and management of the Area, including meetings, training and events, amongst other things.
In October 2020 these were merged to form the Area Team, the aim being that the flatter structure would be more efficient, reduce duplication, increase transparency, improve representation and enable a wider range of members to participate in decision making. In October 2023, with the agreement of those present at the AGM, the role of Chairman was sub-divided into three roles with defined areas of responsibility; Administrative, Pastoral and National Liaison Representative. Following the change of name to Flower Clubs of Cheshire, adopted at the Club Representative’s Forum in January 2024, this document has been revised accordingly.
