Our People

LACA is made up of twelve regions and seven working committees.

Each committee has a specific set of aims, objectives and key representatives from the various regions.

National Steering Group

Role of the National Steering Group Committee

  • To recommend annual budget
  • To monitor operating costs
  • To let contracts and manage services when required
  • Income generation strategy
  • Assessment of individual committee expenditure proposed (National Executive Council will agree the annual budget)
  • Co-ordinate LACA’s response to national issues e.g. changes in legislation
  • Overview/review of Business Plan and Targets

Note: Each Committee Chair is required to develop a plan and review of work programme with associated budget for approval at the commencement of the year (January) by National Steering Group Committee and subsequently by National Executive Council.

Each Committee Chair will manage, monitor and authorise payments to third party providers for services carried out against their Committee Budget.
