Staff
The staff can be segmented into the following categories:
1. The Non-Executive Board of Management - The College of Magic is governed by an experienced board of trustees, who are responsible for all decision-making in line with the organisation’s constitution. Both their chairperson and their treasurer are graduates of the organisation. The executive director and founder of the College, David Gore, has served the organisation for 27 years.
2. The Administrative Staff - The administrative staff is responsible for the day-to-day running of the organisation.
3. The Voluntary Teaching Staff - The College started with a teaching staff consisting of three people. It has since grown to include professional magicians, experienced teachers, specialists in the various allied arts, graduates of the College, administrative staff and visiting lectures (local and international). The expertise and nurturing approach offered at the College has continued to grow over the years with staff development courses being run on an ongoing basis. The staff are responsible for all aspects of the course they are teaching, including syllabus development, lesson preparation, one-on-one tutorial sessions and grading of student progress. The teaching staff is the backbone of the organisation, and all 14 members are volunteers.

Famous quotes containing the word staff:
“We achieve “active” mastery over illness and death by delegating all responsibility for their management to physicians, and by exiling the sick and the dying to hospitals. But hospitals serve the convenience of staff not patients: we cannot be properly ill in a hospital, nor die in one decently; we can do so only among those who love and value us. The result is the institutionalized dehumanization of the ill, characteristic of our age.”
—Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)
“Man, in spite of his tendency towards mendacity, has a great respect for what he calls the truth. Truth is his staff in his voyage through life; commonplaces are the bread in his bag and the wine in his jug.”
—Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)
“I shall not want false witness to condemn me,
Nor store of treasons to augment my guilt.
The ancient proverb will be well effected:
“A staff is quickly found to beat a dog.””
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
