The Board of Trustees has final responsibility for the financial, legal and business operations of RCOG and gives authority to the Chief Executive and the executive team to manage the day-to-day affairs of the College.
The Board comprises ten Trustees. There are six O&G Trustees on the Board:
- President
- Senior Vice President
- A Vice President
- A Member or Fellow elected from Council
- 2 Members or Fellows of the College in active practice, appointed by interview
There are four independent members on the Board of Trustees, who are appointed by interview, two of whom will demonstrate experience in women’s wellbeing.
