Corps Council - now in session!

RA Sigs had a Corps Committee, which had the purpose of projecting and maintaining the Corps esprit de Corps, traditions and heritage. The Committee's charter was to advise the Head of Corps (HOC) RA Sigs on the domestic affairs of the Regular and Reserve components of the Corps and control of all domestic finances.

The HOC and the chairman of the Corps Committee, the Representative Colonel Commandant, proposed to replace the Corps Committee and recently (late 2006) established a new Corps Council. The new Council assumed the responsibilities of the Committee and also perform additional responsibilities.

The creation of a Corps Council is expected to enhance the Corps' ability to manage and further develop its heritage, broaden the links between serving and retired members and continue to broaden the Corps' links within the community.
