Home Our services About us Work for us Emergency Governors Public governors are elected by you to represent your views. Each public governor represents one of the 12 local authority areas in Kent, plus one governor to represent the rest of England. We have staff governors, elected by our members of staff. We also have governors on the council who are appointed by some of our partner organisations; Kent County Council and local universities. They form our Council of Governors, are elected by trust members in their area and represent the interests of the public, giving local people, patients, staff and partners greater opportunity to be involved in the development of community services. The Council of Governors is supported to keep in touch with trust members in their constituencies. The governors also have a wider role representing the public and holding our board of directors to account on their behalf. Governors can approve the appointment or removal of the Trust’s chairman and non-executive directors, as well as approving the appointment of the chief executive. The Council of Governors is responsible for deciding the remuneration of the chairman and non-executive directors.
