B7 STEERING COMMITTEE

The B7 Steering Committee is the political body of the B7 and provides the framework and direction of the B7 Co-operation.

The Steering Committee:

• Consists of one politician from each of the member islands.
• Meets at least twice per year as agreed in the annual programme.
• The representative of the island holding the annual rotating chairmanship chairs meetings.
• Members review and approve the B7 Strategy, policies, annual programme and annual budget of the B7.
• Can delegate responsibilities to the B7 Board.

Members lobby for the islands in areas of common interest.

• Ensure a civil servant at executive level is appointed from each island to participate as a member of the B7 Board.
• Representation from four islands is needed to make a quorum.
• The B7 Steering Committee can decide on the B7 flag, logo, hymn and other symbols of the B7
