The Society is represented on a variety of other trustee bodies, Societies, Working Groups, Management Groups, Steering Groups, and so on in the broader heritage sector.
Some of this representation is pursued through active membership sought by the Society of other bodies, but in many cases the Society has been invited to participate. The presence of a Fellow on the Board of the National Museums Scotland is statutory. From time to time, bodies may be either added to, or deleted from, this list with the agreement of Council. The period of appointment, election or subscription to these various bodies is variable, and is detailed below.
