Governance

Leadership of the WMCA comes from the seven constituent local authority leaders and chief executives, plus the chairs and directors of the Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs). Non-constituent authorities also play a crucial role at board level, helping to inform policy and drive forward the combined authority agenda. Elected members and officers lead on key policy portfolio areas, working in partnership with LEP colleagues. The councillors will form the Mayor’s cabinet following the mayoral election in May.

The LEP directors and chairs are in charge of business-led organisations helping to help build voluntary relationships and communications between businesses and local authorities. They were central to the development of the WMCA SEP to drive economic growth and prosperity and crucial to our future progress.
