Call for nominations for the Board of Directors and Advisory Council members
Accredited members of CIfA are invited to stand for election to the Board of Directors or Advisory Council of the Chartered Institute.
- Board of Directors - there are five vacancies for elected members of the Board of Directors including the position of Honorary Treasurer.
- Advisory Council - there are vacancies for eleven elected members of the Advisory Council.
Interested in getting involved?
Volunteering with CIfA offers a unique opportunity to help develop your professional institute, and to develop your own personal and professional skills.
Accredited members at any stage in their career are encouraged to stand for election. We are looking for individuals with the enthusiasm and insight to support the governance and development of the Institute. We would particularly encourage nominations from people who would make both bodies more diverse. For Board candidates we are also looking for individuals with the appropriate skills to meet the duties required for the Board. If you need any support in completing the nomination forms, such as a 1-2-1 call or to provide your answers in video or audio format, please let us know by contacting admin [at] archaeologists.net. We do not want the application process to be a barrier to anyone interested in the roles.
