Our Board is made up of elected directors and, where needed, a small number of appointed specialists to fill skills gaps. Directors typically serve three-year staggered terms so there is continuity from year to year. The Chair is elected by the Board at the first meeting after the AGM, and role descriptions for Chair, Treasurer, and Secretary are published for members. We use a skills matrix to guide nominations and ensure coverage across finance, risk, technology, and member engagement.
Board of Directors
Our Board provides strategic direction and fiduciary oversight. It appoints the CEO, sets priorities, and monitors performance on behalf of members.
Constitution & Bylaws
These documents define our purpose, powers, and rules of operation—including membership rights, elections, and decision-making processes.
Committees & Charters
Specialist committees support the Board in key areas such as Finance & Audit, Risk & Compliance, and Membership & Programs—each guided by a Terms of Reference.
Policies & Codes
We operate under a clear policy framework: Code of Conduct, Conflict of Interest, Privacy, Whistleblower, and Diversity & Inclusion, reviewed annually and published for transparency.
Risk & Compliance
Our risk framework identifies, assesses, and mitigates organisational and information-security risks. We maintain controls, report regularly, and meet our legal obligations.
Transparency & Reporting
We publish annual reports, audited financial statements, and summaries of Board attendance and key resolutions so members can see how we steward resources.
Working with the best
Elections are conducted at the Annual General Meeting in Q4. Members in good standing can nominate, submit motions, and vote. The nomination pack is released 6–8 weeks prior.
Project availability
Directors declare interests annually and before agenda items; conflicted directors recuse themselves. Selected minutes and resolutions are shared with members.
