IoR-logoUK: Any IoR members who would like to get more involved in Institute activities is invited to stand for election to its executive council.

“I would like to encourage anyone interested in getting more involved in the Institute to consider standing for Council and joining the Board of Trustees who play a key role in helping the Institute to remain relevant and initiate new areas of work,” writes IoR president Graeme Maidment on the Institute’s website.

Nominations must be supported by two existing members and submitted using the form available at www.ior.org.uk/executivecouncil by December 31.

There is guidance about the role of elected council members at www.ior.org.uk/executivecouncil.
