Board of Directors

The RSGB Board plays an important role in the strategic direction of the Society

The Board usually comprises the President, four directly elected Directors and three Directors who are identified by the Nominations Committee and endorsed by the membership.

Each Board Director has a liaison role between the Board and specific aspects of the Society’s work.

The General Manager also has operational responsibilities.

We hope that Members will be able to use this as a guide to help them know who to contact if they have questions, concerns or ideas about any areas of the Society’s activities.

You can contact each Board Director, and the General Manager, via the email address shown by their name.

Strategy

Strategy 2022 identified eight priorities: Growth, Spectrum, Participation, Research, Diversity, Membership, Recognition and Organisation.

We want to encourage initiatives which bring together the expertise of our Committees, Honorary Officers and Regional Teams, while ensuring that what we do across the organisation addresses our Strategic Priorities.

By doing this we will ensure that the considerable time and effort given by all our volunteers will be amplified for the future benefit of amateur radio as a whole.
