Frequently Asked Questions

Communicating with our members is very important to us here at CMI and we are continually reviewing our methods and processes to ensure that we continual improve in this area.

We receive a number of questions from our members through a range of mediums and although we endeavour to respond swiftly and in an open and transparent way, some members may miss these questions and answers because they use another method of communication from the one via which that particular question originated.

For this reason we have created this FAQ page on our website, where we will upload both the questions we have been asked about membership engagement and the answers provided.

We will update this page to include new questions and answers as they come into to us.  We will also provide links to this page from our social media streams i.e. LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, etc.

Regional Board member appointment processes

In the spring of 2012, members were elected (by online vote) to the various Regional/Devolved Nation Boards.  Casual vacancies, caused by members stepping down, are filled by appointment – with candidates expressing an interest in serving, being contacted by the Board Chair and their appointment endorsed by the rest of the Board.  In 2015, members who have served since October 2013 will come up for re-appointment for a further 2 year term.  These re-appointment processes will be discussed in the coming months by the Regional/Devolved Nation Chairs, with a formal announcement made as to the exact process to be followed, with the projected timescale.

Regional/Devolved Nation Board composition

Each Board is made up of the Chair, a maximum of 11 members (across CMI, IC WiM), with places for 2 co-opted members (aimed at bringing in additional expertise and ensuring that the Board reflects diversity within the membership as well as encompassing sufficient representation from IC and WiM). 

CMI Code of PRACTICE

The CMI Code of Practice for Professional Managers is a real differentiator. It sets the CMI and its members apart. It is what we stand for, as professional managers buying into and personifying the CMI vision.
