The Board of Trustees is the governing body of IChemE and therefore members appointed to the Board are responsible for ensuring IChemE complies with its charitable obligations and setting the strategic direction.

Detailed below are the list of retiring members of the Board of Trustees.

Retiring Board Members

In accordance with Regulation 1.A.33, not later than 11 weeks before each Annual General Meeting (AGM), the Board of Trustees is required to send a list of the retiring members of the Board to each Voting Member who is entitled to vote.
