National Board Member Network - 23 September 2025

The 2025 quarterly National Board Members Network meetings, to be hosted virtually by the National Housing Federation.

These networks are held virtually to ensure we reach board members around the country, and provides an opportunity for board members to come together and discuss the day's critical issues and prepare for tomorrow with fellow board members from around the county.

We will provide an update on the National Housing Federation’s (NHF) policy and Influencing work, with a focus on the Government’s recent Spending Review, unpacking key housing announcements and discussing their implications for housing associations.

Following on from this and to reflect the changes to regulation, operating environment complexity as well as the welcome policy announcements from the Government, Housemark will be joining us to talk about their Business Planning Context and Insight Pack they have produced to support Boards and Executive teams.
