GOVERNANCE
The Friends group is managed by executive committee comprised of students of Queens' College, and local townspeople, providing for as comprehensive an understanding of the different needs of the green as possible. Our Constitution is attached below as a PDF.
The management committee meets at least twice per year, and is accountable to the friends for management of the group's accounts and budget, the group's social activities, and the coordination of effective community action to further the group's core missions of protection and enhancement.
