IAC is a small organisation with little money. Apart from some office assistance the work is done by ordinary movie making enthusiasts, most of whom are also busy with regional and club work as well as making their own movies or AV presentations. Many are also still trying to make a living! The Council is elected by members at the Annual General Meeting and choose their own officers. One third of Council members are obliged to retire each year but may stand for re-election. Being on Council is an honour - but a costly one. Members do not get expenses so attending meetings can be a drain on the pocket. In addition to the elected Council there are volunteers who are not on Council but advise members on particular issues or run specialised services/events for the IAC. They may be invited to attend Council when appropriate. Officers are appointed at the November meeting.
