The primary role of the Committee of Management is one of governance, rather than of management, as it delegates the responsibility for the Institute's day-to-day management and organisational operations to the Executive Director, who in turn delegates functional responsibilities to Associate Directors, other staff and volunteers. The role of the Committee of Management is to protect the interest of the Institute and its members.
