Management and Leadership

The Royal Historical Society of Queensland is led by a Council. The Council is chaired by the President, who is supported by the Vice President, Hon. Secretary and Hon. Treasurer, Immediate Past President and up to 10 councillors.

The Council is supported by a series of committees that are responsible for overseeing various activities of the Society and reporting on those activities to Council.

Nominations for all Council positions are called prior to the Annual General Meeting.

The Society is grateful for the tireless effort of the many individuals who so freely give their time to serve on the Council, a Committee or through another volunteer role.

RHSQ Committees

The Committee structure is determined by Council. Committee chairpersons and members are appointed at the first Council meeting following the Annual General Meeting. From time to time, the Council may change the committee structure or change committee membership during the year.

SUPPORTING ROLES

The following supporting roles exist outside the committee structure although report to and are appointed by Council in the same way as the committees.
