RBMS Committee Roles
The River Basin Management Society (RBMS) comprises an elected volunteer Committee made up of an Executive Committee and General Committee member base. Elections are held on an annual basis with nominations received via an expression of interest advertised in May and announced at the Special General Meeting held in mid to late June each year.
The RBMS committee is made up of an elected Executive and a General Committee of activity leads, supported by general committee members, and ad-hoc members who may contribute to specific tasks. While each committee still shapes its own way of working under the direction of the Executive, we now have clearly defined lead roles covering our regional chapters, reconciliation, member engagement, and career development. Leads coordinate and report on their area, but the workload is shared: all committee members are trained in the programs and processes needed to deliver our communications and events, and everyone is encouraged to get involved across the year.
To better understand our committee structure, and the specific roles and responsibilities of each committee member, have a look at our RBMS Committee Structure guide: RBMS Committee Framework
The structure, roles and responsibilities are summarised in the image below:
