CIWM celebrates Trustees Week

This week, CIWM joins charities and professional membership organisations across the UK in celebrating Trustees Week, shining a spotlight on the strategic role its volunteer Trustee Board plays in driving progress towards achieving CIWM’s purpose to move the world beyond waste.

The Trustee Board is responsible for setting the strategic direction of CIWM and ensuring effective governance. Their expertise is crucial for navigating the complexities of the resources and waste sector and for championing the industry's professionalisation.

As part of its commitment to strong succession planning and its EDI Strategy, CIWM is using Trustees Week to engage its membership with future leadership opportunities.

The recruitment drive for new Trustee positions will begin in early 2026, aiming to bring fresh perspectives and expertise to the Board. In addition, recruitment for the Junior Vice President for the 2026/27 term, which leads directly to the CIWM Presidency in 2028, will be launched shortly.

Existing members and Fellows who are interested in influencing CIWM’s strategy and leading the sector are encouraged to monitor the CIWM website for full role descriptions and application details in the coming weeks.
