The Olympic Board

The Olympic Board provides oversight, strategic coordination and monitoring of the entire 2012 Games project, ensuring the delivery of the commitments made to the IOC when the Games were awarded to London, and a sustainable legacy from the staging of the Games.

The Olympic Board is made up of Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt, Mayor of London Boris Johnson, British Olympic Association Chairman Colin Moynihan and London 2012 Organising Committee Chair Sebastian Coe. Former Olympics Minister Tessa Jowell, Sir Menzies Campbell and Don Foster also sit on the Board as observers.

It usually meets monthly, with the chair alternating between the Mayor and the Culture Secretary.
