Ice Skating Queensland (ISQ) is led and overseen by a volunteer Board or Council. The ISQ Council is elected or appointed in accordance with the ISQ Rules at the annual general meeting of the ISQ Members. This is typically held in May each year.
To fulfil all their duties, the ISQ Council is supported by several Committees, which are also comprised of volunteers who have relevant professional or sporting experience to contribute to the responsibilities delegated to these Committees.
