What is the RSNH Committee of Management (CoM)?

Our Committee of Management (CoM) consists of at least five volunteers elected at the Annual General Meeting of RSNH by those members of our Association (House members) who attend the AGM on the day.

The Committee of Management provides RSNH with community “governance”, which includes developing strategic plans, policies, permanent staff appointment, monitoring finances and overseeing delivery of legal and contractual obligations. The CoM acts as the voice of our membership in line with the aims and objectives detailed in our Constitution.

The Committee is required to meet a minimum of six times per year, but currently meets every 6 weeks on a Tuesday evening between 5.30pm and 7pm.

At present, our Committee members are:
Dung Nguyen (Chairperson, Public Officer)
Frances Martin (Deputy Chair)
Matthew Gourley (Treasurer)
Ilona Nicola (Secretary)
Caroline Henwood
Derya Siva
Joseph Stephenson
