Institute Vice Chair Nominations
In accordance with our Bye Laws, the current Institute Chairman, Luis Bernat FICS, will complete his two year term as Chairman at this year's Controlling Council meeting and the Vice Chairman Krishnan Subramaniam FICS will assume the office of Institute Chairman.
Therefore the Institute is now seeking nominations for the office of Vice Chairman of the Institute, who under normal circumstances will be expected to assume the role of Institute Chairman at the end of the Chairman's term.
Any individual member may nominate a Fellow for the position of Vice Chairman using the form that can be found here.
Nominations must be supported by ten (10) Fellows or Members signing the nomination form.
All nominees and their supporters must be fully paid up members of the Institute.
This is a very important role and requires someone who is able to lead and grow the Institute in the future.
Therefore our current senior officers, Chairman Luis Bernat FICS, President Punit Oza FICS and Vice Chairman Krishnan Subramaniam FICS have prepared a document that can be found here outlining the expected key responsibilities of Chairman and the key qualifications and experience required.
If more than one nomination is received then the Controlling Council will vote to elect the Vice Chairman.
The successful nominee will officially step into the role of Vice Chairman at the Controlling Council meeting in November 2025.
Please return completed nomination forms to the Director by email to: membership@ics.org.uk
Nominations will close on the 31st July 2025.
