The Institute of Fundraising is encouraging members to consider becoming a trustee
of the organisation. Chief Executive Peter Lewis emailed members yesterday, saying,“
If you have strong and clear ideas about how your profession should be developed,
why not put yourself forward to become a Trustee of the Institute of Fundraising?”

Three of the vacancies are open to any Institute member who resides in the UK. The
other two vacancies are for national representatives from Scotland and Wales and
elections for these are being run separately. These vacancies are open only to Institute
members residing in Scotland and Wales respectively.

[Nominations for the five vacancies](http://www.institute-of-fundraising.org.uk/members-area/election-to-the-board-of-trustees/)
should be made by **midday on 2 May 2014**.
