The Council Home | People | The Council
Members of the Council are elected at each Congress according to the rules as set out in the Constitution. The Council consists of the current Chair (elected by Council), Vice-Chair and Vice-Chair-Designate, the immediate Past Chair, the Presidents (i.e. Chairs of Organizing Committees) of the last five Congresses, Chairs of Commissions established by Council and eight other Members who are elected by the Council from a list of those nominated. Any member of Council or the International Advisory Committee may nominate a person for one of these positions (cf. the Constitution for the nomination procedure). The Council meets formally at each Congress and also at the venue of the forthcoming Congress the year before the Congress takes place. This means that in the case of a 2 year gap between Congresses the Council would meet annually.

| Ralph Holmes | (President) |
| John Marsden | (Vice President) |
| Aubrey Mainza | (Vice President Designate) |
