ASLE-UKI is run by an executive committee of volunteer scholars and creative writers drawn from across the UK and Ireland, Our activities are governed by a constitution and supplemented by policies published from time to time on this page. Oversight is maintained by a Biennial General Meeting, open to all our members and held at our biennial conference, as well as by an international advisory board. Our work is funded through membership subscriptions and donations.
