Colin Chisholm has been the Honorary Treasurer of the RSL since 2014. In this time, a period of change, he has ensured continuity in the Society’s financial management, and used his specialist expertise in investment to secure its future. In particular, he has worked closely with the RSL’s investment managers, Veritas, to ensure the best performance of the Society’s reserves. The Society also owes a great debt to Colin for his past leadership of the Finance and Fundraising Committee (2012-15) and current position on the Finance and HR Committee. Through all this, he has had heavy professional responsibilities in the City, but has given the RSL his time with unfailing courtesy and generosity.

Fellowship Election Process​

Fellows are nominated by peers and elected by our Council of writers – our governing Board. Being elected a Fellow of the RSL is a lifetime honour. This role gives them the opportunity to support other writers, readers and the future of literature. The RSL connects writers in the Fellowship to one another, and to a wider readership.
