Governance and Trustees

Discover the governance structure in which the Royal Entomological Society operates and meet the board of trustees who set the strategic course for our work and oversee our progress.

Coming from a range of backgrounds and disciplines, our board of trustees set the strategic course for the RES’s work and oversee our progress. Discover who they are below.

Society Bye-Laws

The RES is governed by its council, which is chaired by the Society’s president according to a set of bye-laws. The members of council, the president and the other trustees are elected from the Society’s fellowship and membership.

The current bye-laws that govern the Society can be downloaded below.

Annual General Meeting

The Society hosts an Annual General Meeting for all members and fellows each year at our annual conference, Ento. It is only at these meetings that bye-laws that govern the Society can be changed with agreement of the membership.

The meeting agenda, minutes, accounts and Annual Report can be found via the AGM pages below.
