East of England regional meetings

East of England Leader’s Forum

Senior staff and board members of housing associations are invited to attend the East of England Leader’s Forum, which is held quarterly. The forum is a place where senior housing leaders can discuss strategic issues and influence the NHF’s work. 

If you are a senior leader in the East of England region and aren’t receiving emails about these meetings, please contact our Admin team.

East of England Sounding Board

The forum is shaped by a small sounding board of members from a variety of housing associations across the region.

The sounding board directs the agenda for the Leader’s Forum meetings, influences stakeholder work, and is the first point of contact for member engagement in the East of England.
