UK Sport's Board meets six times per year to provide strategic direction to the organisation, as well as considering and making decisions on those recommendations put forward by UK Sport's various panels.
UK Sport Board members are appointed for a fixed term of three years and may be reappointed thereafter as determined by the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport. The four Chairmen of the Home Country Sports Councils automatically sit on UK Sport's Board.
UK Sport Panels, each chaired by a Board member, include other individuals of relevant expertise and experience who advise and make recommendations as appropriate.
