What does the Board do?
The Chairman, Chairman Elect, Treasurer and up to 12 Trustees (including the three Committee Convenors) form the Management Board. As directors of the corporate charitable Society it is their responsibility to lead and direct the RSCDS throughout the year. The Board’s directors are responsible for, amongst other things:
