Structure
RIBA London is run and administered by a regional team of five based at Portland Place and is governed by the RIBA London Council. The council is made up of: Chair, Treasurer, 8 elected London regional representatives and 10 RIBA London branch chairs. The Council meets four times a year to advise on and approve such things as the regional budget.
The RIBA London Council is supported by a number of sub committees or groups, led by Vice-chairs, with distinct areas of expertise and focus. Their function is to guide projects and campaigns and respond to public affairs issues. Their work is supported by dedicated forums who in turn advise and offer ideas for regional development.
