Standing Committees nominations
We are inviting nominations from members to join three of our Standing Committees for a two year term.
The Committees are:

- Public Health Committee
Committee structure
Our Standing Committees are made up of representatives from around the world.
- Category 1 committee members are nominated by each of our six world regions (total of six members)
- Category 2 committee members may have nominated themselves.
Sitting alongside these members are the Committee Chairman, up-to two co-optees and the President ex-officio.

Nominee selection
Category 2 committee members will be selected by the Committee Chairman and the Company Secretary, against the criteria in the role description and the Terms of Reference of the committee. All appointments will be subject to the approval of the Executive Committee, whose decision is final.
