Board members are elected triennially, with the latest elections having taken place in February 2013. The legislation is very specific over who may stand for election (although all must be riparian proprietors), how many may be elected and how many may represent the lower and upper rivers. There are ten elected Board members, who subsequently elect one of the members to be their Chairman. The current Board members are as follows:

Alan Williams, Board Chairman and Carron Fishings

Angus Gordon Lennox, Gordon Castle Estate

Sir Edward Mountain Bt., Delfur Estate

Oliver Russell, Ballindalloch Castle Estate

Dr Catherine Wills, Knockando Estate

Brian Doran, Mandatory for Craigellachie Fishings

James Carr, Wester Elchies Time Share Group

Peter Graham, Mandatory for Rothes & Aikenway, Easter Elchies, Upper Arndilly and Laggan

Peter Miller, Orton Fishings

Toby Metcalfe, Mandatory for Crown Estates

The Board may also co-opt and invite others to attend its meetings with co-optees empowered with voting rights if required. Currently, Grant Mortimer (President, Strathspey Angling Improvement Association) and Melville McDonald (Chairman, River Spey Anglers Association) are co-opted onto the Board.

Meanwhile, Scottish Natural Heritage, represented by Gavin Clark and Moray Council by Douglas Ross  are invitees. The Clerk to the Board is traditionally a Solicitor or Chartered Accountant. The current Clerk is Will Cowie of R&R Urquhart Solicitors.

The Board’s Director is Roger Knight, who attends Board meetings and is also a Director of the Spey Foundation.
