The President

The office of President is an honorary position bestowed by the Society for periods of up to three years.

The Council

The Society is governed by a representative Council consisting of:

• Members elected at the Annual General Meeting of the Society
• Ex officio members
• Representatives of the Special Interest Groups (SIGs) approved by Council
• Representatives of geographical groups approved by Council
• Representatives of specific membership groups approved by Council
• Members co-opted onto the Council for specific functions.

Council elects four Officers - a Chairperson, a Vice Chairperson, a Treasurer and a Secretary. Council is responsible to members for the financial and organisational control of the Society. Council's function is to listen to members and work to represent their views, to deliver the services they want and to facilitate social and business interaction among members.

Committees

Committees are appointed as needed by Council to handle detailed matters that cannot practically be dealt with by normal meetings of Council. All members are eligible to become members of Committees subject to approval by Council.

Administration

The business of the Society is managed on behalf of Council by full-time professional staff operating from offices in central Dublin.

ICS Special Interest Groups

The Irish Computer Society has a broad membership base with members from a range of sectors within the profession. In order to maintain our relevance to our members, and to cater for their particular professional needs, the Society creates Special Interest Groups. These special interest groups organise their own activities in consultation with the Council and ICS staff, and the Society assists with administration and operations.
