Governance
The Institute of Tourist Guiding is governed by a Board of Directors and operates through a network of committees.
The Board of Directors is elected by Institute members. The committees comprise Institute Directors, other Institute members and co-opted non-members such as academics.
The Institute is owned collectively by our members. There are three levels of membership:
