We are pleased to announce a newly created Board role – Engagement Board Member for which we are now seeking applicants.

This is the first of four new Engagement Board Member positions that are being introduced to the CII Board to ensure that the voice of the member is taken into account during Board discussions and decision-making. Each appointment will represent a different sector of the CII diverse and wide membership and this appointment will represent the financial planning sector.

The CII Board is responsible for leading and developing the strategic direction of the CII as a public trust body and promoting, through the strategy, the CII’s object to “secure and justify the confidence of the public”. The Board must ensure that there are sufficient financial and human resources in place to enable the CII to achieve its strategic aims within a system of effective internal controls and risk management procedures. To enable the CII to meet its objectives, the Board must set the tone of the Institute from the top and establish a culture where an understanding of public trust and ethical values persist.

The Engagement Board member roles are open to all members who can demonstrate that they have recent and an active member engagement experience - for example, attending regional events, actively participating with their local institutes or regions and attending webinars. In addition, for this role, ideally we’ll be looking for someone who is professionally qualified and can demonstrate recent work experience in the financial planning profession.
