Voting members (Member, Associate, Technician and Fellow) can cast their vote when they receive their unique voting code email from the independent voting organisation Mi-voice this week - check your spam if you have not received your email yet. The deadline for casting your vote is 28th October.

IOR Trustee nominations - Three nominations have been received for the two vacancies:

Ana Catarina Marques FInstR
Clive Thornley MInstR

IOR President-Elect nominations - The IOR Constitution requires that the Board make a recommendation to members of candidates for President-Elect. A Nominating Committee consisting of the current Board Members and Past Presidents considered 13 possible candidates against the role specification. The Board has decided to recommend the following two candidates to the membership from which to select:

Graeme Fox FInstR
John Skelton FInstR

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.
