Since the number of candidates in each position did not exceed the number of vacancies, I declare that all of the above are duly elected.
This concludes the CIPR elections 2022.
Commenting on the results, CIPR President Rachel Roberts said ‘I am very grateful to everyone who has put themselves forward this year to continue the work of building the CIPR. There are still some vacant seats on Council and our intention is to co-opt additional representatives so we have a broad representation of our community of practice and practitioners. This will be discussed as part of Board & Council meetings on 28 September.’
Special note on the timetable
The period of nominations was extended by one week in recognition of the National Period of Mourning following the death of Elizabeth II. This variation followed the rules set out in Section 2.1 of the CIPR Election Regulations.
