The Standing Joint Committee of the Doncaster Federation of TARA
What is the Standing Joint Committee (SJC)
All
the Tenants and Residents Associations in Doncaster Borough have joined
together to fight for their rights. The SJC is not part of the council
it is run by a committee elected by the members of Tenants and Residents
Associations within the Doncaster Borough.
The Committee consists of 21 members, 12 St. Leger Homes Tenants, 4 Residents, 2 Housing Association Tenants, 2 Private Sector tenants and 1 Leaseholder. these
are elected at the Federations AGM. The members are elected on a rotational basis and can be elected for a peiod of between 1 and 3 years.
Following the Annual General Meeting the newly elected committee elect a
Chairperson, Vice Chairperson, Secretary and a Treasurer.
The Committee may co-opt any person/s who they consider to have knowledge
or skills that may benefit the Federation.
Every Association may nominate two of their members, a Tenant and a
Resident for election on to the SJC at the Federation's AGM

Meetings
We hold monthly meetings on the last Thursday of the month to discuss any problems or concerns that have been brought to our attention by affiliated associations and to decide what would be the best course of action that could be taken to resolve these issues. We also discuss any other concerns that we may have that we feel may affect our Federation members.
Our monthly meetings are now attended by the by either the Chief Executive of St. Leger Homes or one of the directors, along with Neighbourhood and Community Liaison Manager.
