**The Chartered Institute of Fundraising is looking for three trustees to join its
board.**

As well as wanting to ensure the trustee board is drawn from charities of all sizes,
represents the UK, and has a mix of practitioner and consultant fundraisers on the
Board, the [CIoF](https://ciof.org.uk/) wants to ensure that it is diverse in terms
of ethnicity, disability and sexual orientation and balanced in terms of gender 
identity. As such, it is positively encouraging applications from people who will
increase the current diversity of the board.

Detailed information on how to apply and the criteria for the role is available 
in the [Trustee Recruitment & Information pack](https://ciof.org.uk/trustee-elections)
on the CIoF website.

[Current trustees](https://fundraising.co.uk/2020/07/06/claire-rowney-takes-over-as-iof-chair-with-carol-akiwumi-appointed-vice-chair/)
include Chair Claire Rowney, Macmillan Cancer Support’s Executive Director of Fundraising,
Marketing and Communications; Vice-Chair and Chair of Equality, Diversity & Inclusion
Committee Carol Akiwumi MBE, the CEO of Money4YOU; Director of Fundraising & Marketing
at Thames Hospice Sarah Bissell, and Head of Income Generation and Marketing at 
Age NI Nadine Campbell.

The CIoF is also currently looking for a CEO to replace the outgoing Peter Lewis,
and, with it entering a new phase post-pandemic and also a year on from attaining
Chartered status, says that this _‘will be an exciting time to be part of that change,
working with the trustees and the staff team to develop and then deliver a new strategy
to take fundraising, and the Chartered Institute, into a new era.’_

The time commitment is four Board meetings per year, one of which comprises an Away
Day plus attendance at Fundraising Convention and the AGM. Trustees are also expected
to represent the organisation at various events and meetings with key stakeholders.
