South East England Partnership Board members come from two major regional organisations: South East England Councils (SEEC) and the South East England Development Agency (SEEDA).

SEEC was established in 2008 to be the democratically representative voice of South East England. Its members are elected councillors from local authorities throughout the region. Eight members of SEEC’s Leaders’ Board are on the South East England Partnership Board.

SEEDA is the Government-funded agency responsible for the South East’s economic and social development. Four of the places on the South East England Partnership Board are held by members of SEEDA’s board.

Through the Partnership Board, SEEC and SEEDA will use their combined expertise to produce a regional strategy for the future of the South East. The strategy integrates the region’s environment, transport, housing, planning and economic policies.

The Partnership Board meets three times a year. It is supported by a smaller executive group called the Strategy Board, a series of delivery boards and working groups, and a small team of staff based in Guildford in Surrey.
