FAR Board Election Process
Board Member selection is entirely skills-based, and choices will depend on the Board’s current makeup and what skills or expertise are required from time to time. Board Members shall hold their position for a maximum of three terms of 3 years unless advised otherwise.
The Board will provide the Nominations and Remunerations Committee with a list of skills required by the current Board, and the NRC will call for applications for the roles available. Then, the Nominations and Remunerations Committee will compile the candidates and make a recommendation to the Member’s Council.
The Nominations and Remunerations Committee will forward the name(s) of the preferred candidate(s) to the Members’ Council for final approval at the Annual General Meeting (AGM).
