How the Society is Governed
The main areas of Governance of the Society are managed by the Directorate of the Society. At the centre of this function is the Society's Council, acting as the Board of Trustees of the Society who may address any matter of significance to the Society in addition to any other mandatory responsibilities laid on them by the Society’s By-Laws.
The Council meets four times a year. To assist in the running of the Society, the Advisory Committee, comprised of key members of the Council meets on a more frequent basis to advice the President and the Chief Executive on various issues.
The chief governing documents for the Society are the By-Laws, the Royal Charter and the Regulations.
