Call for nominations for the Board of Directors and Advisory Council members

Accredited members of CIfA are invited to stand for election to the Board of Directors or Advisory Council of the Chartered Institute.   

Board of Directors - there are three vacancies on the Board of Directors for the position of Honorary Chair, Honorary Treasurer and Ordinary Board member.

Advisory Council - there are vacancies for eleven elected members of the Advisory Council. 

Interested in getting involved?

Volunteering with CIfA offers a unique opportunity to help develop your professional institute, and to develop your own personal and professional skills. 

Accredited members at any stage in their career are encouraged to stand for election. We are looking for individuals with the enthusiasm and insight to support the governance and development of the Institute. We would particularly encourage nominations from people who would make both bodies more diverse. For Board candidates we are also looking for individuals with the appropriate skills to meet the duties required for the Board. 

Nomination information and guidance

Any member thinking of standing is welcome to have an informal discussion with the members of the Board or Co Chief Executive by contacting alex.llewellyn@archaeologists.net.

You can find out more about what is discussed at Advisory Council and Board meetings by looking at the meeting minutes published on the website

Candidate forms must be submitted by 5pm on Friday 29 August 2025 and emailed to admin@archaeologists.net.

Accredited members will be invited to vote for candidates in a ballot if the number of candidates exceeds the number of vacancies. Ballot papers, accompanied by information and an election statement of the candidates, will be distributed to members and the ballot will run from 11 September to 25 September 2025 inclusive.
