BIID Council Of Directors Elections 2024

Published on

Shape the BIID's future by standing for the Council of Directors at this years AGM. Deadline: Wednesday 12th June 2024

The Council of Directors is the governing body of the British Institute of Interior Design. They oversee both the long and short term strategic direction of the organisation, supported by the staff team and our network of committees, panels and working parties. The directors have a set of legal duties, set out in the Companies Act, including promoting the success of an organisation, exercising independent judgement and managing conflicts of interest. They act in accordance with our governing document, the BIID Articles of Association. Becoming a BIID Council Director is a way to help shape the future of the BIID and give back to the industry.

The majority of our directors are Registered Interior Designers who are directly elected by their fellow members at our Annual General Meeting each year. Each director is elected to serve a two year term, after which they can opt to stand for election for a second two year term before stepping down from Council.

Our Articles of Association specify that the BIID can have up to 12 members of the Council at any one time, and of those 12 a maximum of 10 can be directly elected by the membership. 

In order to stand for election you need to do the following:

  • Have your nomination proposed and seconded by 2 BIID Registered Interior Designers 

  • Write a statement giving a summary of the relevant skills, experience and approach you will bring to Council if elected.

The deadline for nominations is Wednesday 12th June 2024 at 12.00pm. 

Please email the BIID’s Chief Operating Officer, Katherine Elworthy on katherine.elworthy@biid.org.uk to request a nomination form and to ask any questions you might have about the election process.
