The Chair will provide leadership on digital services, lead on discussions regarding funding for digital services with other Committees, and report to Council when required.
Members of Information Digital Committee will attend meetings and contribute to discussions, providing operational as well as strategic expertise in their areas, ensuring business and digital activity are aligned and acting as advocates and champions for the digital services within their remit.
