Advisory Council

The Nutrition Society’s Advisory Council is established under the Articles of Association 55-57, ‘There shall be a body of persons known as the Council whose composition, rules and regulations shall be proscribed by the Trustees from time to time.’ 

The Advisory Council comprises of 20 elected members, including six members of Council, the eleven Board of Trustees, the Secretaries of the Scottish Section and the Irish Section and Student Section Chair. Advisory Council members provide advice, critique, ideas and insight for Trustees to help underpin the evidence required to inform the proposals and subsequent decisions of Trustees, in support of the development and delivery of strategy, policy and activity. In addition, Advisory Council members identify future priorities and opportunities under the strategic plan, facilitate communication and access to the membership, stakeholders, external networks and potential partners, and support promotion of Society activities and help raise its profile.

The six members on the Advisory Council are elected for a three year term, after which they may be re-elected for another three year term.  However, they cannot serve more than two three year terms concurrently.  To find out more about current vacancies on the Advisory Council, view the elections and voting section.
