The Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees are the guardians of the British Council’s purpose and are ultimately accountable for the organisation.
Currently chaired by Sir Vernon Ellis, they hold the Executive Board responsible for the organisation’s performance, strategy and policy. The trustees meet six times a year and edited minutes of their meetings are available to the public.
The current trustees are:
Sir Vernon Ellis - Chair
Baroness Prashar of Runnymede CBE - Deputy Chair
There are three formal sub committees to the Board: Audit (pdf 55kb), Remuneration (pdf 43kb) and Nomination (pdf 47kb).
We also publish the expenses and register of interests of the Board of Trustees.
