The Management Committee consists of esteemed employees from the Founding Partners and Member Companies.
The Founding Partners Diageo and Chivas Brothers have two representatives, and Edrington one. The Chair is selected on a rotational basis every three years. A Vice Chair and Treasurer support the Chair.
All of the Management Committee are Masters of the Quaich, which is signified by the maroon collarette presented at our Banquets.
