The Nominations Committee is pleased to confirm the outcomes of the Trustee Recruitment process for 2026 and the ratification of the outcomes by the Board of Trustees.

2026 saw the recruitment for 4 Trustees to be elected and 1 to be selected to the Board from June 2026.

The result of that assessment process was only 4 candidates came near to or surpassed the required scoring to reach the election stage. There were 4 vacancies for ‘elected’ positions and therefore in accordance with Bye-Law 65(d) the candidates shall be deemed elected without a vote. This decision was ratified by the Board of Trustees in February 2026.

For 2026 - there has been no requirement for a Trustee election

Dayle Bayliss FCIOB, Michael Loizias MCIOB, Duan Van der Merwe FCIOB and Paul Vega FCIOB shall be duly ‘elected’ to the Board of Trustees from the close of the AGM on 24 June 2026.

The Nominations Committee continued with the recruitment process and under Bye-Law 67 proposed to the Board of Trustees a further candidate from the applications based on a skills audit of the full Board and further skills discussion, to ensure the required mix of skills and experience to support the Board was found. The decision was ratified by the Board of Trustees in April 2026.

Shu-Ling Lu FCIOB shall be duly selected to the Board of Trustees from the close of the AGM on 24 June 2026.

All matters were formally recorded at the Board of Trustees meeting on 29 April 2026.
