RHS Council elections process

The RHS Governance and People Committee leads the annual election process to the RHS Council. The Committee reviews the applications of all candidates who apply to stand with the support of the RHS Council and interviews a shortlist of candidates. Following a skills audit of current trustees, the Committee considers the skills and experience required and makes recommendations for selected candidates for election to the RHS Council.
