R3 Council

R3 Council members represent our wider membership and act as the board of directors for the association.

What council is

As representatives of our membership, R3 Council members act as ambassadors for R3 and are vital to the strategic decision-making process of R3. Council members, working together with the CEO, are responsible for the management of R3 and setting the strategy and policy direction of the organisation.
