The board of trustees is responsible for nominating candidates and is now starting to consider potential nominees but members can also nominate additional candidates. 

The Institute is also seeking two members to join its board of trustees, which manages the governance of the IoR and its strategic direction. To stand for election as a trustee requires a short statement, a photo and details of two members supporting the nomination.  

Nomination forms and more information are available here. The deadline for applications is 1 August.
