The Royal Agricultural Society WA has over 1,800 members who elect 28 Councillors to sit on the Council, seven of whom are required to retire each year.
Councillors give their time voluntarily and are responsible for the conduct and management of The RAS. The Councillors' key role is to provide year-round and Show-time chairmanship of the Perth Royal Show Sections that make up the Royal Show.
The RAS President, Vice President and Treasurer; Executive, Finance and Project Committees are elected by the Councillors.
Council also appoints the Chief Executive Officer of The RAS who is a full time paid employee responsible for the day-to-day management of the organisation.
The RAS employs 41 permanent staff who support the Chief Executive Officer. There are six key departments; Executive Services, Finance, Commercial (comprising Perth Royal Show Business and Claremont Showground Venue Sales), Human Resources, Perth Royal Show Sections and Asset Services (grounds).
In addition to The RAS Councillors, management and staff, thousands of volunteers provide their time, skills and knowledge to make the Perth Royal Show the wonderful community event that it is.
