Who can become a Committee Member?

Anyone aged 18 or over can become a school or college Committee Member. No specialist qualifications are needed and people from many different backgrounds volunteer for the role.
Enthusiasm, commitment and an interest in education are the most important qualities. You don’t need to have a family member attending a school or college to become a Committee Member.
