THE IOL TEAM

The IoL employs a small but dedicated team to undertake the work of the charity and its subsidiary. 

The Chair and Vice Chair(s) of the IoL are ex-officio members of all committees. IoL officers sit on all committees in a non-voting capacity. The committees are delegated to undertake specific work on behalf of the Board and report to the Board. Board members serve on the committees along with other IoL members who volunteer their time to support the work of the IoL.

THE IOL REGIONS

A key working strength for the IoL are its 12 regions which operate throughout the UK. Each region is operated through a regionally elected committee and hold regular meetings and events locally for regional members. IoL members are entitled to attend any regional meeting regardless of their ‘home region’.

The regions are part of the charity and are bound by the terms of its Memorandum & Articles of Association. In addition, the IoL has a regional constitution which provides additional guidance to the regional committees in relation to the operation of the regions including their AGM meetings and election of officers.

Each of the regions are required to elect a Regional Director. This can be a role held by the Chair of the Region or another elected person. The Regional Directors represent their regions on the Board, are Directors / Trustees of the charity.
