Governance

The Trustees are elected by members of the Institute of Fundraising and meet six times a year. The elections take place annually with the call being made to all members to consider standing. Nominations must be backed by two members and nominees are required to provide a 100-word synopsis of what they have to offer.

Trustees stand for three years and can be re-elected for a further three-year term. The Trustees also have the power to co-opt additional members onto the Board for their specific skills.

Trustees give some delegated powers to a smaller group called the Officers. This group consists of the Chair, Vice Chair, Honorary Secretary and Honorary Treasurer. The Officers meet at the end of each month when there is no Trustee meeting.
