The Articles of Association are a key constitutional document that set out the rules governing the operation and internal management of a company or organisation. They define the purpose of the organisation, the powers and responsibilities of its directors and members, and the procedures for decision-making, meetings, and changes to the organisation’s structure.

For Scottish Hockey, the Articles of Association outline how the organisation is run, how decisions are made, and how members interact with the governing body. This includes details on voting rights, the appointment and removal of directors, and the organisation’s commitment to transparency and accountability.

The Articles must comply with company law and are filed with the Registrar of Companies. They form the legal foundation of the organisation’s governance and are reviewed periodically to ensure they remain fit for purpose.
