Galilee is governed by a Council of community members on a voluntary basis who are elected at the Annual General Meeting or otherwise co-opted to the Council for a three year term. The Galilee Council meets at least six times per year, alternating between meetings that focus on strategic issues and engaging with reports from senior staff and Council committees. The Council also convenes an annual Strategic Planning Day that includes the participation of Galilee staff. The Council operates with Corporate Governance Guidelines, which were reviewed in 2007.
