Our Board
The organisation is overseen by a strong voluntary Board of Directors, elected annually at our Annual General Meeting (AGM). We have an experienced Board made up of individuals with a variety of skills and experience.
The role of the Board is clearly defined in the Company Memorandum and Articles of Association and in a Schedule of Matters Reserved for the Board but in brief, it is to provide strategic direction and oversight.
In line with Sport Ireland Governance Code for sport, Rowing Ireland is committed to term limits of maximum eight to ten years.
