The Royal Entomological Society 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.
Our annual reports detail activities over the previous year and focus on the achievements of the Society.
The Society has an Annual General Meeting for all members and fellows each year. It is only at these meetings that bye-laws that govern the Society can be changed with agreement of the membership.
