Each year at the AGM in June, new Officers, Board members and Council members of CIBSE take office.
The Board is the Institution’s governing body. It comprises seven Officers – President, President Elect, three vice-presidents, honorary treasurer, and immediate Past President – along with five elected Board members.
All positions are subject to eligibility requirements set out in the bylaws and regulations.
Candidates are considered by the CIBSE Nominations Panel, which reviews eligibility and suitability before advising the Board on appropriate candidates.
- The President Elect must be a Fellow of the Institution and must have served as either a Vice President or the Honorary Treasurer.
- The Vice Presidents and Honorary Treasurer are appointed by the Board, based on recommendations from the Nominations Panel.
- Board Members are elected from eligible Corporate Members who have been considered by the
Nominations Panel.
The CIBSE Council is a consultative body that advises the Board on Institution policy. It includes several elected members, alongside representatives from all CIBSE Groups, Regions, Societies and Standing Committees.
We are now inviting CIBSE Members to nominate themselves for positions that become vacant in 2027.
More information – including available roles, role descriptions, eligibility criteria and the nominations form – can be found at: Nominations.
The Board will determine which candidates to nominate for appointment or election.
Candidates who are not recommended by the Nominations Panel or the Board, but who meet the eligibility criteria, may still stand for election by securing the support of 10 Corporate Members, in which case a ballot will be held.
