IMechE Trustee Board – Ordinary Member (Casual Vacancy)

Following the Trustee Board Elections on 23 May 2024 there is now a casual vacancy for One Ordinary Member on the Trustee Board.

Filling a casual vacancy enables qualified candidates to volunteer for a shorter term than the normal election process. It is a great opportunity to fully contribute at the highest levels of the Institution while gaining experience to be used when pursuing future volunteer roles in the organisation.

• Trustee Board Regulation TBR5 states that the Ordinary Members of the Trustee Board shall be elected from Corporate Members.
• The person appointed shall hold office until the next Annual Meeting in May 2025. A period in office while filling a casual vacancy shall not count towards the eligibility criteria for elected Trustee positions.

The Nominations Committee strongly encourages new candidates with diverse skills and backgrounds to apply for this role. We are particularly seeking applications from those who have some or all of the following:

• A demonstrable ability to operate and contribute both individually and collectively at Board level.
• Experience of high-level strategy implementation.
• A proven understanding of IT and digital development.
• Financial strategy, accountancy and audit.

These skills may have been demonstrated through your involvement with a range of organisations (e.g., work, academic, charitable, professional bodies etc.).

It is anticipated the role of Ordinary Member will require a time commitment of 2-3 days per month in addition to attendance at all day meetings of the Trustee Board on the following dates:

• 8 September, 14 December 2024
