TRUSTEES

A new system of governance was adopted by the membership at an EGM on 29 August 2010. It is subject to scrutiny by the Charity Commission.

Up to 4 trustees shall be elected at the AGM, in addition to an Hon. Secretary and Hon. Treasurer should there be any, and further members may be co-opted as appropriate, each for a 4-year term of office. They shall be as representative as possible of each of the principal church groupings.  As required by the new rules, the Board of Trustees elected one of their number to serve as Chair and one other as Vice-Chair at its first meeting on 8 Nov 2010.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

The day-to-day running of the Association is overseen by the Board of Trustees, plus the Treasurer and the Executive Officer, who collectively are referred to as the Executive Committee.

ADVISORY COUNCIL

The Executive Committee is supported in its deliberations by a number of members who give the trustee body a broader representation of members’ views on issues of policy.  However, the executive function of directing the Association remains with the trustees alone.
