Who's Who
The Board of Trustees conducts and manages all of CIArb's business and affairs, and exercises all its powers, authorities and discretions. The Board of Management is responsible for the routine management of the affairs of the Institute and the scrutiny and supervision of the work of The Executive.
Various standing Boards and Committees advise on the development of policy in a range of different areas. Committee members are drawn from among an international pool of the Institute's members and other volunteers with the most appropriate qualities and expertise. The governing structure set out by the Charter means that the governance and management of the Institute is representative, not only of the global membership but also of the various disciplines of private dispute resolution.
The Director General, Michael Forbes Smith, is the Chief Executive Officer of the Institute, responsible for initiating and implementing policy, and managing the corporate functions of the Institute on a day-to-day basis. He is assisted in this by four directors, Nicki Alvey, the Director of Membership and Marketing, Tony Marks, the Director of Legal Services, Aaron Hudson-Tyreman, the Director of Research & Development, and Malcom McMullan, the Director of Finance and Administration, and the other 21 members of staff of the Executive.
