The primary role of the Mid Wales Sports Board is to ensure the strategic direction and objectives of MWSP are progressed, to monitor performance and to use insight and learning to continually improve and target its offer. MWSP will work with Sport Wales to invest into the region on an annual basis.

**Chair Role**

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced, transformational leader who can help shape the future of sport and physical activity in Mid Wales. We are seeking an inspiring individual who is passionate about the value and impact of community sport and physical activity and the belief that everyone should be active together, for life. This will be a high-profile role, influencing regional and national policy and strategy and at the vanguard of community sport design and development in Wales.
