Throughout 2023, RICS members will have several opportunities to help lead the future of our profession as part of the Institution’s new governance structure. In the Bichard RICS Review recommendations, which were accepted in full by Governing Council, Lord Bichard set out a new vision for the composition of Governing Council, so that it better reflects the geographic location and disciplines of members. It also recommended that as many Council seats as possible should be directly elected by members.
The deadline to apply for one of 20 Governing Council seats has been extended to 13 March 2023. The 20 Governing Council seats cover six professional disciplines, 13 geographic seats and 1 member under 30 years of age. Elections for these seats will be held in the first half of 2023, so that a new Council can be in place by 1 July 2023.
