The Directors of High Life Highland are responsible for leading the strategic direction of the organisation and they meet several times a year. They consist of four elected members from The Highland Council and 8 independent Directors, who bring with them a wealth of skills. The Board provides extensive experience of public, private and development agency backgrounds which is a perfect complement for the scope of our work.
