Elections of Trustees, Board and Council members

Vacancies arise each year for Trustees and members of Boards and Council.

The candidates proposed by the Board of Trustees to fill the vacancies for Deputy-President, Vice-President, and Ordinary Member of the Board of Trustees are published in Member News magazine.  Subject to the conditions laid down in Bye-law 64(c), members may nominate other qualified persons to fill the vacancies.  The requisite qualifications and procedures are set out in Bye-laws 61-66.

Members are also invited to nominate candidates to fill the vacancies for member of Council, the Global Operations Board, Knowledge Management Board Membership and Professional Development  Board and the five Regional Boards.  There are 22 vacancies for members of Council and 1 vacancy for each of the Main Boards and Regional Boards annually.  Membership of Council and the Boards is open to all categories of IET membership. Members of Regional Boards must be resident in the region. Nominations must otherwise follow the conditions of Bye-law 65(c).

The Board of Trustees has agreed a statement of the skills, knowledge and personal characteristics required of Trustees and Board members.

A full list of candidates for election, with biographical details and ballot papers, is posted to all members entitled to vote.  The Board of Trustees wishes it to be known that it welcomes the exercise of the right to nominate candidates, but strongly deprecates organised canvassing for candidates by means of circulars or otherwise.  

A call for nominations was printed in the 4 March 2010 issue of Member News magazine.  The closing date for nominations is 15 April 2010.
