Committee members are appointed by the President of the Orthopterists' Society. The responsibilities of the committee are:
- To advise on design of database and priorities for tasks.
- To grant awards from the endowment.
- To review proposed changes to higher ranks within the database. This has been proposed, but there is no current consensus that this should be a committee responsibility.
