The IMA is proposing to make revisions to the IMA’s governance structure to form a new, separate Board of Trustees and redefined Council.
This area of the website has been created to provide members with full details of the proposed changes. This will include documents which outline the separate, but complementary, roles of the proposed new, separate Board of Trustees and redefined Council, along with FAQs.
An important next step is to make the associated proposed revisions to our Charter for initial comments from the Privy Council, whose approval will be ultimately required to validate this new structure. Additionally, there will be a full set of supporting documentation to include Terms of Reference and role descriptors for Trustees and Councillors. Council will be first asked to review these at their June meeting.
Then, subject to Privy Council feedback on the draft amendments, a formal membership consultation will be organised, to include online Town Hall meetings where you can ask questions and express your views. We aim to hold these in the Autumn, and all members will be notified directly of the dates and subsequent voting procedures.
A key objective of this project is to ensure the IMA meets Charity Commission recommendations while ensuring even greater focus on strategy, sustainability and the future direction of the IMA through the new arrangements. We look forward to sharing full details with you in the coming weeks and months, and hearing your views and questions.
