IoR seeks new board members

UK: The Institute of Refrigeration is inviting applications from members keen to join its board of trustees, the IoR’s management committee. 

With two vacancies coming up in November, the IoR is seeking applications from anyone who is a member, associate, fellow or technician grade member. 

Nominations must be supported by two existing members (member, associate, fellow or technician) and accompanied by a signed statement and photo. 

The IoR board includes the president, immediate past president, president-elect, six elected members and a treasurer. Board members take an active role in the work of the IoR by joining a committee, taking part in steering groups and representing the IoR at key industry meetings.

The board of trustees is responsible to the membership, company law and to the Charity Commission for its effective governance. It meets three times a year for a half-day at a meeting chaired by the president. Elected members normally serve for three years. 

Completed nomination forms must be received by August 1.
