Each SKIP branch sends out volunteers each year to their project country, where they carry out their interventions. This is overseen and organised by the hardworking branch committee.

Branches are free to determine their own Committee infrastructure but must include persons allocated to cover the following roles:

a) Project Coordinator

b) Secretary

c) Treasurer

d) Fundraising Coordinator

e) Training Coordinator

f) Health & Safety Officer

g) Logistics Officer

h) Research & Development Coordinator

i) Publicity Coordinator

j) Volunteer welfare and recruitment Coordinator

For more information about what each role involves please speak to your current branch committee!

Branch Committee elections should take place each year, with the committee in place prior to the Autumn Big Weekend 

A minimum of the roles of Project Coordinator and Treasurer should be elected by the 31st of July each year and It is acceptable for the remaining committee roles to be filled in another election later in the year. 

Branches can set their own preferred election methods, but they must ensure that:
a) Positions and application deadlines are widely advertised
b) Nobody is allowed to run for more than one position at any one time.
c) Written Applications or Oral Presentations are included in the election process
d) The election is by secret ballot, involving those with voting rights on the Branch
e) Election will be by relative majority
