UKCP Board of Trustees election

Voting opens

Voting has opened on the UKCP elections for chair and a trustee. Members who are eligible to vote will receive an email from from Civica Election Services (CES) with a link to submit their votes. Anyone who is entitled to vote but has not received an email from Civica should  email elections@ukcp.org.uk.

Candidates' answers to member questions have been added to each candidate profile. We are also sending a link to recordings of the chair and trustee hustings events to members.

Voting closes at 5pm on Wednesday, 26 February 2025. No votes can be cast after this time.

 

Candidates announced

We received two nominations for chair and three for the trustee role. We will therefore have a contested election for chair and trustee. The nominee for vice chair, Will Daniel-Braham, is elected unopposed.

Code of conduct

We have a code of conduct for UKCP elections. It applies to all UKCP members as well as candidates, their proposers and other active supporters. The objectives of the code are to:

  • ensure that campaigning by candidates is carried out in an honest, fair and respectful way, and
  • protect the standing and reputation of UKCP candidates, members, officers and employees.
