The Executive Board are the Trustees and Company Directors of the Institution. The Executive Board is made up of the President, 3 Vice Presidents, Immediate Past President, Honorary Treasurer and up to eight Council Members (but usually limited to the six Board Chairs)

As Trustees, the Executive Board must ensure that the affairs of the Institution are kept in good order, and legal and statutory obligations are fulfilled. They are responsible for controlling the management and the administration of the Institution and, if negligent, are personally liable. As the Institution is a company limited by guarantee, the Executive Board are also Company Directors. Every Company Director has a personal responsibility to ensure that statutory documents for example the Annual Report and Accounts, are produced and submitted on time to Companies House.

The Executive Board is also responsible for agreeing the subscriptions for membership and drawing up annually detailed Revenue and Capital budgets for the coming year and outline budgets for the four years beyond this. At each meeting, progress against budget is monitored and action initiated as required.
