In 2016, the RA Board appointed its first Future Leaders Committee (previously known as the Fellowship Council).
Members are elected for two years, with Committee supporting the Chair and Deputy Chair in guiding the activities of the Future Leaders Program.
In 2024, following a changeover in Committee structure and recognising the period of renewal in the Committee’s membership, an additional resource for the Committee was allocated through the creation of Fellowship Alumni Chapter Leads, supporting the Program and Committee’s activities in their home states.
