To receive the report from the Managing Director of Alexandra Palace Trading Limited (APTL) updating on the review of the governance of Alexandra Palace.

The Committee received the report on the review of governance, and creating a vision for Alexandra Palace, introduced by Rebecca Kane (Managing Director – Alexandra Palace Trading Limited (APTL)). She informed the Committee that a written report on the outcome of the Stakeholders Event held on 24^th October 2009 would be sent to stakeholders in the week commencing 9^th November 2009.  Stakeholders were expected to communicate the report to their resident’s associations/ colleagues etc. and provide feedback to the Palace.

APTL had sent out a tender, for the appointment of a communications management firm and once a contract had been agreed the successful firm would take on the Palace website to make it more interactive and will be responsible for the Palace’s newsletters and other communication.
