The CMI Board and how to get involved
The Board of Trustees is at the centre of CMI governance. Board members are Trustees of the Institute, the CMI being a charity registered in England and Wales, and separately registered in Scotland. Their responsibilities are in essence identical to those of a non-executive Director who serves on a company board.
Collectively, the Board is responsible for the overarching long term strategy of the organisation, and for delivery of its mission and objectives. It agrees the annual business plan and budget, and sets and monitors the key performance indicators. It has responsibility for the short and long term financial health and probity of the Institute, including the assessment and mitigation of risk. It approves the published accounts for issue to members and to the Charity Commission.
The full structure is as below, with the Board supported by a number of policy and corporate governance committees. For further information on the role specification, timescales, and to express an interest, please click on the buttins to the right.

- CMI President (who serves for a 2 year term)
