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:
“... all my letters are read. I like that. I usually put something in there that I would like the staff to see. If some of the staff are lazy and choose not to read the mail, I usually write on the envelope “Legal Mail.” This way it will surely be read. It’s important that we educate everybody as we go along.”
—Jean Gump, U.S. pacifist. As quoted in The Great Divide, book 2, section 10, by Studs Terkel (1988)
“In public buildings set aside for the care and maintenance of the goods of the middle ages, a staff of civil service art attendants praise all the dead, irrelevant scribblings and scrawlings that, at best, have only historical interest for idiots and layabouts.”
—George Grosz (1893–1959)
“For the first fourteen years for a rod they do whine,
For the next as a pearl in the world they do shine,
For the next trim beauty beginneth to swerve,
For the next matrons or drudges they serve,
For the next doth crave a staff for a stay,
For the next a bier to fetch them away.”
—Thomas Tusser (c. 1520–1580)
