How We’re Organised

Structure & Leadership

The Clivia Society operates as a non-profit organisation, supported by a passionate team of elected leaders, dedicated volunteers, and affiliated clubs across the world.


Our structure ensures inclusivity, democracy, and responsiveness to the needs of Clivia enthusiasts at every level — from local club members to international researchers.

Leadership & Governance

The Society is governed by a central committee that oversees its strategic direction, communication, projects, and partnerships.

Roles are filled by experienced Clivia growers, organisers, and contributors, either through election or appointment in line with the Society’s constitution.
