In April 2019, at an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM), accredited members will vote on whether to change CIfA’s by-law to enable the introduction of a Chartered Archaeologist grade.
Members are invited to read the proposal, which has been developed in accordance with Privy Council rules and benchmarked against the requirements for chartered status in other professions.
Drop-in meetings
We’ll be discussing with members at a series of open meetings and online debates over the next few months too, leading up to an EGM on 26 April at the CIfA Conference in Leeds. Accredited members will be asked to vote on a resolution to amend our Charter by-law to allow us to introduce this new, high level accreditation. If you can’t attend the EGM, you will be able to vote online from 25 March. You don’t need to register and details will be circulated with the EGM papers before voting opens. If you vote online, you won’t be able to vote again at the EGM and once you’ve cast your vote, you won’t be able to change it so please make sure you’ve read and understood the proposal before you do. If you have any questions, see our FAQs, drop us an email or come along to one of the drop-in sessions below.
