If you are an FRICS, MRICS or AssocRICS member you should have received a link asking you to vote in the elections for the new 15 market seats for Governing Council. This is the first time the membership has been asked to vote on the reformed make up of Governing Council.

You may be thinking why is it important to vote? Well, Governing Council sets the overarching strategy for RICS and helps us all in our mission to deliver confidence in the built and natural environment. It is the highest representative body for members of the profession, and with these new market seats, will ensure the broadest possible input from sectors and locations in which we operate.

This is the first election for the 15 market seats that were created as a part of our governance reforms that the profession voted for at the end of last year. 

Having a modern, nimble, and diverse governance structure is a critical part of our business transformation work to ensure RICS keeps up with some of the monumental change going on in our markets around the world.
