Who Runs the LCS?

The Lewis Carroll Society is run entirely by volunteers. Principle activities are overseen by an elected Committee and other specific tasks are taken on by various appointed officers none of whom receive any remuneration.

The Committee members are the "trustees" of the Society according to the laws associated with registered charitied and they take ultimte responsibility for the Society. The Committee is elected each year at the Annual General Meeting.

The Society also has a President (currently Anne Clark Amor) a role which is generally regarded as being a form of figure-head for the Society.

The production of the Society's scholarly journal, The Carrollian, is overseen by a separate Editorial Board, who work closely with a team of Editorial Assistants.
