Ordinary Member (Casual Vacancy) for the Trustee Board

Following the selection of Helena Rivers to fill the casual vacancy for Vice-President, a casual vacancy has thereby been created on the Trustee Board for an Ordinary Member.

• The criteria for this position is that the incumbent shall be a Corporate Member of the Institution.
• The person appointed shall hold office until the next Annual Meeting in May 2023. A period in office while filling a casual vacancy shall not count towards the eligibility criteria for elected Trustee positions.

Filling a casual vacancy enables qualified candidates to volunteer for a shorter term than the normal election process. It is a great opportunity to fully contribute at the highest levels of the Institution while gaining experience to be used when pursuing future volunteer roles in the organization.

The Nominations Committee strongly encourages new candidates with diverse skills and backgrounds to apply for this role. We are particularly seeking applications from those who have:

• A demonstrable ability to operate and contribute at Board level
• A proven understanding of IT and digital implementation
• Experience of high-level strategy development
• Financial management, auditing, and risk mitigation skills

It is anticipated the role of an Ordinary Member will require a time commitment of 2-3 days per month in addition to attendance at all day meetings of the Trustee Board on the following dates:

• 7 September, 19 October, 7 December 2022
• 1 February, 8 March, 26 April 2023
