Council & Executive Committee

Queensland Law Society is governed by an elected Council of members and provides the Society’s policy directions. Elections are held in October biannually - full society members are eligible to vote.

The Executive Committee consists of a president; deputy president, immediate past president, and two elected councillors. The role of the Executive Committee is to assist Council with the administration of the Society and implement Council's directions.

The role of the President is to lead the Council in setting the corporate direction and goals and monitoring the performance of the Society. The President also works closely with the Chief Executive Officer to ensure the effective corporate governance of Queensland Law Society. Each president is elected for a term of one year, with the Deputy President succeeding to the office of President at the beginning of the second term.
