Opportunity knocks
Council of Management nominations open 1 June 2023 Simon Hamlyn, Chief Executive Officer
VERY soon we will be requesting nominations from corporate members (MCInstCES and FCInstCES) to join Council of Management – which is the most senior of the institution committees with its structure and appointment processes set out in our royal charter and bylaws. Council of Management oversees the delivery of the institutions five-year plan as well as providing the valuable leadership, oversight, and direction for this and future generations of civil engineering surveyors..
Being a member of Council of Management is a unique opportunity for members to make a significant contribution to the fortunes of the institution. You will be able to contribute to our vitally important work, provide oversight, demonstrate and champion our values and our vision and hold the CEO to account..
Council is composed of the president, immediate past president, two vice presidents and up to 14 elected members. Members of council, all of whom are trustees of CICES, are from both commercial management and geospatial engineering disciplines. Their role is to bring their business experience and knowledge to bear on our work, decide how best the institution is run, and ensuring it is achieving what it was set up to do.
Members of council serve a term of three years. It is a rewarding and responsible position, requiring playing an active role in the governance of the institution to ensure we remain relevant, act with integrity and, importantly, are an organisation that those in the profession want to join.
Being a member of Council of Management is a unique opportunity for members to make a significant contribution to the fortunes of the institution.
The institution is recognised as the foremost UK-based professional institution for specialists employed in geospatial engineering and commercial management in the civil engineering industry and we strive in all that we do to maintain and improve that position.
We build on our reputation through three core values of competence and teamwork, openness, trust and reliability and honesty and integrity and woven throughout all we do are our golden threads of equity, diversity and inclusion, sustainability and digitalisation.
So with all this in mind, and if you have the skills and qualities required, your nomination must be supported by two current corporate members, to act as your proposer and seconder. If you have the time and want to make a real contribution to the work and effectiveness of the institution, consider putting yourself forward for election.
Nominations open on 1 June 2023, and you will be reminded about this again in next month’s issue and via email.
If you wish to discuss this opportunity in greater detail, please contact me.
