CIOB announces new trustees for 2025

The Nominations Committee is pleased to confirm the outcomes of the Trustee Recruitment process for 2025 and the ratification of the outcomes by the Board of Trustees.

2025 saw the recruitment for 1 Trustee to be elected to the Board from June 2025 and 2 to be selected.

The result of that assessment process was only 1 candidate came near to or surpassed the required scoring to reach the election stage. There was 1 vacancy for an ‘elected’ position and therefore in accordance with Bye-Law 65(d) the candidate shall be deemed elected without a vote. This decision was ratified by the Board of Trustees electronically in February 2025.

For 2025 - there has been no requirement for a Trustee election.

Jonathan Payne FCIOB shall be duly ‘elected’ to the Board of Trustees from the close of the AGM on 24 June 2025.

The Nominations Committee continued with the recruitment process and under Bye-Law 67 proposed to the Board of Trustees two further candidates from the applications based on a skills audit of the full Board and further skills discussion, to ensure the required mix of skills and experience to support the Board was found. The decision was ratified by the Board of Trustees in March 2025.

Elizabeth Smith MCIOB and Hadi Kazemi MCIOB shall be duly selected to the Board of Trustees from the close of the AGM on 24 June 2025.

All matters were formally recorded at the Board of Trustees meeting on 30 April 2025.

Members are to note that the AGM will take place on 24 June 2025 in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Full notification of the meeting will be disseminated to the membership in due course.
