SCAS Regional Council - Structure
Regional Council is formally composed of County representatives and Elected officers (including the Chairman). These are the voting Members of council. In addition, the region makes many Ex Officio appointments (sometimes called 'officials' as opposed to 'officers'), and Liaison appointments, who also attend council meetings, and Council also appoints a Vice-chair from the Members.
Each category is detailed below, with a note on who appoints them and what voting rights they have on council.
Individuals may hold more than one appointment; it is common to find that individuals on council wear more than one hat where roles overlap or a person is directly involved in a range of activities.
