Become a Trustee

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.

Vacancies for elected member places on the Board, when available, are advertised widely across our channels, including our website, our magazine, member e-newsletters and CMI’s social media channels.

The role and personal specification for a Board member are published, alongside a well-established set of competencies for Trustees.

When a new Board member is elected they will serve a two-year term. The Board member is then eligible to stand for re-election for two more two year terms, to a maximum period of six years.

Who is eligible to become a Trustee?

  • A current Institute Member, Chartered Member, Fellow, Chartered Fellow, Companion or Chartered Companion, with;
  • Experience of operating at strategic level;
  • Ideally, experience as an executive or non-executive director.
