Society Activities
The Society is managed by a board of directors. The board is elected by SIHR members at the Annual General Meeting (AGM). Terms for the positions of President and Vice-President are valid for two years, while all other positions are voted on annually. The current officers of the Executive Board include President Jean-Patrice Martel, Executive Vice-President Paul Bruno, Secretary Lloyd Davis and Treasurer Iain Fyffe.
The organization holds two formal meetings a year. The Society holds the AGM each spring in various locations around North America. The AGM deals with Society business and features research presentations by members and guest speakers. The Society also holds an annual fall meeting. The May 2011 AGM marked the organization's twentieth anniversary and was held in Kingston, Ontario, at the Royal Military College of Canada.

Famous quotes containing the words society and/or activities:
“Probably I should not consciously and deliberately forsake my particular calling to do the good which society demands of me, to save the universe from annihilation; and I believe that a like but infinitely greater steadfastness elsewhere is all that now preserves it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The most remarkable aspect of the transition we are living through is not so much the passage from want to affluence as the passage from labor to leisure.... Leisure contains the future, it is the new horizon.... The prospect then is one of unremitting labor to bequeath to future generations a chance of founding a society of leisure that will overcome the demands and compulsions of productive labor so that time may be devoted to creative activities or simply to pleasure and happiness.”
—Henri Lefebvre (b. 1901)
