As a company limited by guarantee, CMH:I is composed of members and a Board of Directors.

The Board is accountable to Members for its management of the Company’s business. Members therefore play a role in scrutinising the operation of the Company. Accordingly, the role of Members is similar to that of shareholders in a public limited company, save that Members have no financial interest in the Company. Members will perform this corporate governance role by receiving reports on the Company’s performance and by participating in Members’ conferences and in general meetings of the Company. In addition, Members have a role in: (a) approving certain changes to the Company’s constitution; (b) approving the appointment, re-appointment and removal of directors; (c) approving the Company’s annual report and accounts; (d) approving the report of the Company’s remuneration committee; and (c) approving the appointment, re-appointment and removal of the Company’s auditors.

Members are selected on merit and against objective criteria, the intention being that the Company has a membership which has the necessary skills, expertise, experience and/or capacity to contribute to these key governance roles and, in particular, to represent effectively the interests of the Church of Ireland.
