Nominations for CTSI Chair, Vice Chair and Second Vice Chair for Council 2022

We (CTSI) are seeking nominations for Chair, Vice Chair and Second Vice Chair of the Council of the Institute for the year commencing from the AGM on 8 December 2021.

Nominations for these posts can be made by an established Branch or Section of CTSI and have to be signed by at least two officers. If an individual member wishes to nominate a person this must be done through their Branch or Section.

It is anticipated that there is a progression from Second Vice Chair to Vice Chair to Chair of the Council. Nominees should therefore be prepared to commit to this progression and the nominating Branch or Section bear this in mind when making a nomination.

If there is more than one nomination for each post a ballot will be conducted in accordance with the Regulations of the Institute.

Closing date for receipt of nominations is noon Monday 11 October 2021.

Nomination forms are available to download from our website www.tradingstandards.uk/nominations
