According to the IHS Bylaws, the Advisory Council (AC) is "responsible for carrying out the aims and purposes of the Society and for determining Society policy." It has "ultimate and final charge in management of Society affairs." Most of the members (nine of fifteen) of the AC are nominated and elected by the members of the IHS and, therefore, represent their interests.
The AC determines (through discussion and vote) the policies and budget allocations for IHS programs such as the Composition Contest, the Meir Rimon Commissioning Assistance Program, the large IHS commissions, scholarships, workshops, archives, and honorary memberships and other awards. AC members work in sub-committees, prepare for the annual meetings by studying the agenda book, and attend the annual meetings, which start immediately before the annual workshop and continue throughout the entire week.
AC members also nominate and vote for the rest of the AC members not elected by the IHS members (six of fifteen), the AC officers, and any vacancies in unexpired terms. Lastly, AC members must respond to queries, calls for action, and votes throughout the year between workshops.
