Board and committee appointment process

We have a number of boards and committees. The process for appointing members to these boards and committees is governed by a global appointments model, overseen by the Nominations Committee. In general, the appointments process followed is that:

1. Vacancies are advertised.
2. An Appointments Panel will sift all the applications received against the required criteria.
3. Candidates may be interviewed, either face to face or via video-link/ telephone, to assess how they meet the skills requirement for the role.
4. Some roles will be filled by selection and some will go forward for election.

The following general principles apply:

• merit – the choice of individual should be based on skills, experience and qualities required for the board to operate effectively
• equality and diversity – encouraging a wide range of high calibre applicants in the spirit of the RICS Corporate Responsibility goals around inclusion
• probity – those involved in making appointments should act with integrity
• transparency – the appointments process should be fair and accessible to all suitable candidates
• focus on outcome – the quality of skills on boards rather than process 'overkill'.
