We are holding elections for our Trustee in Ireland.

Members are invited to nominate eligible members as candidates for the role of Ciarb Trustee in Ireland. Eligible members for election are Associates, Members, or Fellows (ACIArb, MCIArb or FCIArb) of Ciarb whose billing address for membership subscriptions is in Ireland.

The elected Trustee will serve from 1 January 2027 for a term of four years.

You may only nominate eligible members from your region.

Please kindly note that to be eligible to stand as a nominated candidate and/or vote in the elections, you must have paid your annual subscription and completed your Annual Declaration for this current membership year. If you have any queries or need assistance with renewing your membership, please contact customerservices@ciarb.org.

The Nomination Form which includes the Candidate Declaration Forms must be completed and returned to Ciarb no later than 23:59 GMT, 8 November 2026 by either:

• email to governance@ciarb.org;
• or by post to The Governance Team, 12 Bloomsbury Square, London WC1A 2LP marked Trustee Election.

Instructions on how to nominate a candidate are set out in the Nomination Form.

Please refer to the Election guidance to Branches and the Election Guidance to Candidates.

It is important to note that although some Ciarb Trustees are elected on a regional basis, all serving Trustees have collective responsibility for the oversight of Ciarb and each Trustee has a fiduciary duty to Ciarb in accordance with charity law in England and Wales. As such, regional Trustees are not elected to represent the interests of their regions although they can and do provide valuable input about relevant regional and global issues.

If you have any questions about the process, please contact governance@ciarb.org.
