Board of Stewards
The Welsh Society is goverened by a board of Officers and twelve Stewards who meet monthly. Stewards' Meetings are open to the membership. Stewards are elected by the membership at the Annual Meeting of the Society on or about the 1st of March (Saint David's Day) commonly in conjunction with the February board meeting. Nominations should be made by the January meeting; any member in good standing may stand for election.

Officers are elected during the General Meeting of The Welsh Society held on a date prior to The Annual Banquet so that the new Officers may be presented to the members there gathered. In practical terms the General Meeting is held immediately following the February meeting of The Board of Stewards.
Statutory Officers are elected for two years and may stand for re-election with no limit to the number of terms served. By tradition most Presidents do not serve more than two consecutive terms.
Honourary Officers are elected ad hoc and stand for two year terms with no limit to the number of terms served.
Stewards are elected in classes of four, and are elected every three years and may stand for re-election with no limit to the number of terms served.
Committees are formed ad hoc with the Banquet, Scholarship, and Robert Morris Award committees as standing commitees reflecting the importance of these functions to The Welsh Society.
