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.
