Following changes to our governance structure and procedures in 2021, we are delighted to announce our new Rotary GB&I Board. The Board, effective from 1st July 2022, will be working in alignment with Rotary International through our Director and Director Elect, who attend the Board in a non-voting capacity.
As part of these new governance arrangements, and with a clear strategic direction, we have nominated our next Chair and Chair-Elect, alongside five other board members. The election for the position of Rotary International Director 2023-25 has also taken place.
At any one time there are 13 Board members, with others invited to attend. Full composition can be found below.
To ensure maximum continuity, a small number of positions change on an annual basis, including General Board members. District Governors sitting on the board will do so throughout their District Governor journey from Nominee through to Immediate Past. Expand the section below to see the full composition of the Board.
