Monitoring Duncan Place Board and its development; providing advice (and sometimes making decisions) about changes to the goals and direction. The Steering Group provides support, guidance and oversight of progress. There can be more than one steering group, focusing on different aspects of the board's responsibilities — e.g. an events steering group, a marketing steering group, or a community engagement steering group.
