ISS GOVERNING COUNCIL & TERMS OF
OFFICE As of January 2022 |
|
|
|
As of January 2022, the last time the
ISS Articles & Bylaws were amended, the ISS Governing Council is divided into
an “Elected Executive Committee,” an “Appointed Executive Committee,” and an
“Honorary Executive Committee,” the members of which have voting rights in
deciding issues presented to it by the ISS President. The Elected Executive Committee of five
officers {President, Vice President, Treasurer, Recording Secretary, and
Membership Secretary} are each to be elected by the membership at large for a
three-year term. The Appointed Executive Committee of two officers, the
Webmaster and the Director of Publications, serve for whatever term is agreed
upon by them and the President. The Honorary Executive Committee, consisting
of however many past ISS Presidents have accepted the invitation to serve,
are to be readily available to the President for consultation, advice, and
voting. All three committees are charged with the day to day running of the
ISS. In addition, there is The Honorary
Advisory Committee, which is to consist of however many the President wishes
to appoint, most for lifetime membership. Members shall largely be senior
members who have distinguished themselves in some way in the study or
practice or appreciations of literature or drama or theater in general and
Shaw in particular. An example of an exception might be the House Manager of
Shaw’s Corner in Ayot St. Lawrence in England, who would be temporary,
limited to the time this person serves as House Manager at Shaw’s
Corner. Another example of an
exception would be those who were essential to the founding and initial
development of the ISS. This committee
is strictly advisory and has no voting power.
