At the AGM on 3rd November, the IOR announced the results of its Trustee Elections. Three members stood for the two vacancies this year, and members elected Paul Singh FInstR and Damian Wiszniewski MInstR to join the IOR Board of Trustees.
Chairing the AGM, IOR President Mike Creamer FInstR thanked all three candidates who stood for election to the Board of Trustees for their willingness to volunteer to serve on the Board. He also thanked Board Members whose term has now come to an end, Lisa-Jayne Cook FInstR, Juliet Loiselle MInstR, and Kevin Glass FInstR, for their contribution and support. Mike formally handed over the role of President to Graeme Fox FInstR who was elected by the membership last year.
