Council is led by a Presidential Team made up of the President, the President-elect, and the Immediate Past President. The President is the Chair of Council. Its members are elected by the Fellows, Honorary Fellows, and Associates of the ÌÒ×ÓÊÓƵ (IFoA).

Council has 30 elected seats, divided into 2 constituencies: the General and Scottish constituencies.

Members of the IFoA belong only to one constituency. 

The number of Council members representing the 2 constituencies is set in accordance with Bye-law 21 of the IFoA’s constitution. At present, there are 24 and 6 seats representing the General and Scottish constituencies respectively.  

Council may also co-opt up to 3 additional members, as prescribed in the IFoA’s Regulations, to cover particular circumstances. Paul Sweeting, the President-elect, was co-opted onto Council from the date of the 2024 AGM in accordance with Regulation 4.

Elected members of Council will normally serve a 3-year term, after which they will be required to stand down. A member of Council may stand for re-election but may only serve a maximum of 2 consecutive terms before being required to retire for at least a year.

More information on standing for election to Council, voting in Council elections, and the relevance and implications of the 2 constituencies, can be found in this Q&A document (PDF, 200 KB).
