Each year, our branch committees are entitled to appoint one Councillor, except for Auckland and Wellington who may appoint two.

Council is responsible for:

• Representing our members across Aotearoa New Zealand
• Appointing members to our board (with the advice of our Nominations Committee)
• Appointing a Nominations Committee, Membership Committee and Standards Committee
• Monitoring the overall performance of our board
• Overseeing membership matters (e.g. setting of member subscription fees, membership categories, granting of chartered and fellowship status to eligible members)
• Hearing and determining complaints against our members
• Establishing and/or disestablishing branches.

Our Council also elects a President and Vice President who serve for a two-year term.
