Senior Vice President elections

Lead. Inspire. Shape the Future.

Being our next Senior Vice President is an opportunity to be part of a globally recognised professional body that is committed to effecting positive change in the built and natural environments.

The role of Senior Vice President is open to all chartered members (FRICS/MRICS) in good standing, and we welcome applications from chartered members based anywhere globally.

RICS will be running elections for the next Senior Vice President (2027) later this year and details will be published on this page as they are confirmed.

Process

The Senior Vice President selection process is robust with a multi-stage approach including defined selection criteria, and independent oversight. From the initial engagement of a diverse appointments panel and external search consultants to thorough due diligence on both candidates and their supporters, each step ensures a fair and rigorous evaluation.

The process encourages applications from all eligible members and includes comprehensive background checks and independent assessments. It culminates in a Governing Council election set out in the Standing Orders. All of which provide multiple layers of scrutiny and accountability. For a detailed breakdown of each stage, please refer to the Summary of the SVP Election Process.
