The Speaker of the Engineering Society is responsible for running all meetings of the Board of Directors and Engineering Society Council. Until 2011, the Speaker was an Internal Director, elected annually at the Joint Council Meeting. After the creation of the Board of Directors in 2011, the Speaker ceased to be an internal director and simply became an appointee of the Board of Directors. The term Chair of the Board was then used interchangeably with Speaker to refer to this position. | The Speaker of the Engineering Society is responsible for running all meetings of the Board of Directors and Engineering Society Council.
