Getting it right

Registered in England and Wales as a non-profit organisation (a company limited by guarantee) means that whilst we are driven by a sense of mission, we operate as a social business. We are an international, distributed organisation – aiming to be highly agile and responsive to changing global partnering needs and to keep our core expenditure to a minimum. Hence no physical office!

A major focus has been to build a ‘fit for purpose’ governance structure for this new entity – we are working with a threefold governance structure which we believe maximises opportunities for engagement with appropriate levels of checks & balance.

Board

PBA has recently moved to having a smaller Board ensuring close attention to PBA’s progress and sustainability, drawing together the widely-spread international and dispersed activities of the organisation and ensuring adherence to UK laws. The Board’s responsibilities include:

  • Approval of annual business plan and long-term sustainability strategy
  • Oversight of financial position, business plan delivery and compliance
  • Overview of standards
  • Appointment and oversight of the PBA Strategic Team
Current Board members:

Ken Caplan (Chair) • Ingo Kumic • Michelle Cheah • Kathryn Taetzsch

We would like to acknowledge the important contribution to the development of PBA made by Greg Butler, our founding Board Chair, whose untimely death in January 2015 was a great loss.

Adviser to the Board:

Mike Patterson

PBA’s auditors:

HW Fisher
