The LSIS inaugural board comprises 13 full members and four observers from stakeholder organisations. The members were selected through an extensive interview process to be truly representative of the learning and skills sector; together they bring diverse experience, varied perspectives, complementary skills and vast expertise.

LSIS is also governed and advised by a member council made up of 30 members drawn to fully reflect the diversity and richness of the sector taking into account the nature and type of providers and geographic distribution.

The member council of LSIS is the legal membership of LSIS and will have the powers in the Memorandum of Articles to hold the board of LSIS to account at the annual and general meetings, as well as an advisory, consultative and representative role.
