Unfortunately I am unable to attend, but I see that we again can make use of a proxy vote.

Subject: Re: CILIP AGM 2014
Dear Roger
I’m happy to provide clarification and answer your questions.
One of the aims of the governance review is to make sure CILIP is led by people with the right skills to make the best decisions for the organisation and the members.
Members will have an option at the AGM to vote for a Board comprising 8 elected and 4 appointed Board members, the appointed members will not necessarily be individual members of CILIP.
Once the elected Board members are in place a skills audit will be carried out. The skills required from the appointed Board members will be identified from the audit and based on the strategic priorities for the organisation. This mix of elected and appointed Board members is designed to create a Board that has the right combination of skills and experience to deal with varying and often complicated issues needed to govern a charity and professional body – for example investment management, pension fund management, charity law, and property law.
In 2012 a Project Board examined CILIP’s governance – including the current model, how other professional bodies are governed, our charity requirements and charity law obligations. The mix of elected and appointed Board members was part of their recommendations, and has been outlined in the proposals about the governance review.
CILIP is on a sound financial footing, and it’s important it stays that way.
I hope this provides the details you need. The agenda and papers for the AGM are available from the CILIP website: www.cilip.org.uk/bigday2014
Regards
Martyn Wade
Chair CILIP Council
