Ordinary Member (Casual Vacancy) for the Trustee Board

Following the election of Prof David Nowell as Vice President on 25 May 2023, a casual vacancy has been created on the Trustee Board for an Ordinary Member.

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.

• The criteria for this position is that the incumbent shall be a Corporate Member of the Institution.
• The person appointed shall hold office until the next Annual Meeting in May 2024. 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 at Board level.
• Experience of high-level strategy development and implementation.
• A proven understanding of IT and digital implementation.
• Financial and risk management skills.

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 an 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:

• 27 July, 8 September, 14 December 2023
• 7 March, 25 April 2024
