What does it do?

The Leaders Board describes its purpose as "To represent and promote the regional interests of the local authorities in the West Midlands Region and the communities they serve."

The Leaders Board has three clear objectives;
(i) To secure a strong, coherent regional voice for local government and to promote the West Midlands in relation to regional, national and international issues.
(ii) To provide a focus and mechanisms for regional collaboration in policy areas where regional working will promote economic, social and environmental prosperity and drive even more added value.
(iii) To provide 'value added' services to support organisational development and improvement activities.

The Leaders Board adopted its Constitution (pdf, 128 kb) on 13th July 2009.
