Governance CIOB Trustee recruitment 2020 – announcement

The Nominations Committee has now completed its assessment of applications for three Trustees to be elected to the Board from June 2020. The result of that assessment process found fewer successful candidates than vacancies and therefore in accordance with ByeLaw 65(d), the candidates shall be deemed elected without a vote. This decision was ratified by the Board of Trustees on 31 January 2020. For 2020, there will be no requirement for a Board of Trustees’ election.

Virginia Borkoski, Stephen Nitman and Paul Young shall be duly elected to the Board of Trustees from the close of the AGM in June 2020. The committee shall now continue under Bye-Law 67 to propose to the Board of Trustees a further two candidates from the applications based on a skills audit of the full Board of Trustees to ensure we have the required mix of skills and experience.

The membership will be updated following the Board meeting in April.
