Council
The Council plans and directs activities and manages the affairs of the Society. It meets at least once between General Assemblies. Normally a spring meeting is held in March or April of each year.
The Council consists of nine members: three representatives of permanent
Member Societies and six members with a term of two years that are elected by
the General Assembly.
Permanent members are delegated by the Royal Meteorological Society
(RMetS), the German Meteorological Society (DMG) and the French
Meteorological Society (SMF), which all pay an additional voluntary
membership fee.
The Council elects as President an individual member of the Council, and three Vice-Presidents, one of whom also serves as Treasurer. These four officers constitute the EMS Bureau. The term of the President lasts for three years and a President is not eligible for re-election. Vice-Presidents are elected for a one year term and this term can be renewed.
With the Strategy Implementation Plan 2008 the Council has adopted a programme of project-based activities, for the EMS to become more focussed and influential, and better meet the needs of its membership.
