As
with any large organisation, Ladies' Circle has to have a structure,
so that individual Circles can communicate with one another and organise
events in an effective manner.
Circles - Firstly, and most importantly, come the Circles.
Each one has a Chairman, together with a number of officers.
Areas - Next come the Areas - 39
of them, made up of anything up to 25 individual Circles. Each Area
has its own Area Executive, consisting of a Chairman and a number
of Area Officers.
National Council - The Area Chairmen,
together with the National Executive, form the National Council,
which meets 3 times a year, to discuss issues and to formulate the
agenda for the National AGM.
National Executive - Circle is in
fact pyramid-shaped! At the apex is the National
President, who chairs
both the National Council Meetings, and the National AGM. She is
supported by the other 5 members of the National Executive, who meet
5 times a year, to carry out the business of the Association.
Headquarters - All the posts mentioned so far are voluntary,
but the administration of such a large organisation could not be
carried out without the dedicated team of permanent paid staff who
work at Headquarters Office in Keighley - see the Headquarters page
for details of the staff, and how to get to HQ Office.
