Committee

LALG’s affairs are managed by a Committee.  The Committee's composition and how it should be run are set out in LALG's Constitution.

The Committee must comprise a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 15 members.  Committee members are elected by LALG Members at Annual General Meetings.  They serve for a term of three years, but they can stand for re-election.  There is no maximum period of service.

If there is a vacancy on the Committee, the Committee can co-opt a Member to fill the vacancy, but the person appointed must stand for election as a Committee member at the next AGM.

The Committee must include the following Officers: Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, Membership Secretary, Publicity Officer and Data Protection Officer.  The Committee elects the Officers from its members.  The Chair and Vice Chair serve for one year only, but they may be re-elected.  Other Officers serve for a period of three years or until they resign their office or are no longer a Committee member.  They may also be re-elected.
