Members Board – composition and current members

The Members Board aims to be representative of the ICAS Membership, taking account of factors such as geography and industry sector.

Composition

The General Regulations provide that the Members Board is made up of the following:

  • A Chair, who is also a member of Council.
  • Not less than two other Council members.
  • The Chairs of each of any panel or body whose work is relevant to the Board.
  • The Executive Director of Member Engagement & Communications.
  • Up to two relevantly experienced ICAS employees.
  • Such other persons as Council may deem appropriate.

Role of Members Board members

As set out above, the Members Board is comprised of a range of individuals with varied backgrounds and experience. ICAS’ Regulations do not provide distinct roles or responsibilities for Members Board members, with all members expected to:

  • Engage in setting and delivering the Members Board’s objectives.
  • Ensure the ongoing relevance of the Members Board’s work.
  • Provide robust oversight and challenge to ICAS’ Member Engagement Team.
  • Deliver effective influence in the interests of Members, Firms and the general public.

Appointments

Individuals are appointed to the Members Board by Council, on consideration of recommendations from ICAS’ Nominations Committee (with the exception of the Executive Director of Member Engagement & Communications, who sits on the Members Board by virtue of his or her employment in that role).
