IOR Board Trustee nominations

Three nominations have been received for the two Trustee vacancies:

IOR President-Elect nominations

The role of the President-Elect is to support the current IOR President in their role as Chairman of the IOR Board of Trustees until they stand down the following year.  The Board would like to recommend the two candidates below to the membership to select their next President-Elect from:

  • Mike Creamer FInstR
