RIBA Council| is the charter body, and is ultimately responsible for the conduct and development of the institute. It comprises 60 members, the large majority of whom are
chartered architects.
The council passes down detailed responsibility and technical focus to the RIBA Board and executive. The executive is split into four subsidiary companies, each with its own board of directors, trustees and staff.
The RIBA Board| is the group board, responsible for directing the overall business of the RIBA. It operates under the overall authority and policy of the elected Council, and co-ordinates the operations of the subsidiary companies.
