About the IAM

Board

The Board manages the IAM and may exercise all the powers of the Institute, including implementing any directions given by special resolution at general meetings. It operates as a non-executive board, directing the Chief Executive and staff, who are the legal directors of the IAM’s subsidiary companies. The key role of the Board is governance in all its forms: fiduciary, good practice, and good conduct of members.

Board and other IAM groups

• Faculty is appointed by the Board as the primary technical authority for the Institute’s products, publications and knowledge activities. 
• Council is elected and has a consultative role. The Board voluntarily takes guidance and lead from the Council. However, it cannot limit the powers and accountability of the Board.
• Chapters are legal entities incorporated in their respective legislatures. As such, they have a board of directors, for clarity, entitled the Chapter Executive Committee. Chapters are required to adhere to direction from the Board.

Board Members

Board members are classed as company directors of the IAM under company law and, as such, bear the legal duties and liabilities of a company director. Board members are elected, subject to approval by the Nominations Committee. Before election to the Board, members will usually serve on other IAM committees, chapters, projects, or similar to gain familiarity with the Institute’s activities. Elections take place annually with results announced at our Annual General Meeting.
