Board of Trustees
CIArb's Board of Trustees is responsible for setting the policy and strategy of the Institute.
The Board of Trustees currently comprises 14 Trustees - 12 are directly elected by the membership on a regional basis from seven regions: the UK, Africa, the Americas, Australasia, Europe (including the Republic of Ireland but excluding the United Kingdom), East Asia and the Middle East/Indian sub-continent. The President and Chairman of the Board of Management are ex-officio but non-voting Trustees.
The elected Trustees serve a four year term, with elections being held on a two-yearly rotating basis so that half the number of Trustees continue in office.
Elected Trustees take up office from 1 January in the year following their election. The maximum continuous period they can serve for is 8 years, after which they must wait at least two years before standing for re-election.
The Board of Trustees elect a Chairman [of the Board] and an Honorary Treasurer on an annual basis.
The elected members of the Board of Trustees are trustees for the membership as a whole (i.e. not regionally representational) and are not permitted to hold any other office nor take up any other appointment within the Institute, while serving as a Trustee.
The Board of Trustees meet twice a year (Spring and Autumn), and every alternate year. The Board of Trustees Autumn meeting coincides with the holding of Congress.
The Board of Trustees establish and maintain the Board of Management and the Professional Conduct Committee, appointing chairmen and members on an annual basis.
