RSCM Governance The RSCM is governed and guided by three bodies: a council, an advisory board, and an association. The RSCM is both a registered charity and a registered company limited by guarantee. The RSCM Council The RSCM Council consists of the Trustees of the charity – a chairman and 12 members. They take responsibility internationally for the good name of the RSCM, granted by Royal Charter, and its good standing. They are accountable to the membership of the RSCM Association. Council is responsible for the policies of the RSCM. Council meets five or six times each year, and as necessary in smaller ad hoc groups. The RSCM Advisory Board The RSCM Advisory Board offers advice and support to, and is available for consultation by Council and the Director. The Board has up to 35 members, including all members of Council. Of the 35, seven are elected by the members of the Association. The RSCM Association The RSCM Association consists of all Individual Members and all Area and National Chairmen and Secretaries. Members of the Association are the members of the company limited by guarantee, of whom the Trustees are the directors, and the Director is the chief executive.
RSCM Staff The principal functions of the RSCM staff are administration and management – guiding, enabling and supporting the membership and voluntary networks. All RSCM staff have a primary responsibility to the membership. The work of the RSCM is co-ordinated and overseen by the Director. As principal officer, the Director is accountable to the RSCM Council for the vision, strategy, leadership and operation of the RSCM. The administration and management of the RSCM falls into five principal portfolios:
Each portfolio is administered and managed by a Senior Executive Officer.

As with all scripture, we need to read this verse in context. The website Bible Gateway gives us an opportunity to read this text in several different versions (and languages), and so help us to understand what the author meant. We are very pleased to announce the launch of the new RSCM web shop. We have listened to your comments and completely redesigned the site to make it more user-friendly. You can visit the new site at: RSCM Affiliates and Individual Members can log in to gain membership benefits RSCM Affiliates receive 25% discount on RSCM publications, medals and ribbons and (UK only) invoicing on account. Individual members receive 12.5% discount on RSCM publications, and can also purchase medals, ribbons and other items exclusive to members.
