The chairperson of our Organisation plays a vital leadership role, guiding the organisation's activities, facilitating meetings, and ensuring effective governance. They are responsible for strategic planning, managing relationships, and overseeing the organisation's overall performance. The chairperson also acts as a link between the board, members, and the wider community. Each month the chairperson sets the meeting agenda, and ensures that the organisation is working towards its goals and objectives. They plan, prepare, and facilitate meetings, ensuring they are conducted effectively, efficiently, and in accordance with the organisation's constitution.

As a general member you will attend and contribute to discussions at the 2hr monthly meetings of our Organisation's steering committee which are done by zoom. The members of the committee support the paid staff and ensure the society is being run in a sustainable manner that works to meet the needs of the organisation and its members. There are also various opportunities which members may choose to undertake on a regular or one off basis such as workshops, social events and fundraisers. Ability to travel is an advantage, but not a necessity.
