The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) has appointed 10 members to its permanent Standards and Regulation Board (SRB).
The organisation said nearly 300 candidates had applied for the five RICS members’ and five independent members’ roles on the board. The selection process was led by Nigel Clarke – independent chair of the SRB – with support from independent recruitment specialist Cindy Butts and Clare Johnson MBE, deputy head of profession at the Valuation Office Agency.
The new SRB members are: Keith Thomas, Olga Turner, Sara Ensor, David Fogarty, Andrew Reynolds, Yo-Hann Tan, Lynne Livesey, Sukhvinder Kaur-Stubbs, Neil Stevenson and Jonathan Lurie.
The members commenced their appointments on 13 May 2024, with an in-depth induction held on 22 and 23 May.
Clarke said: “I am confident our new SRB will help inform and drive forward confidence in the quality of RICS’ regulation and strengthen trust in the profession. This is a busy time for RICS and the built environment, and the SRB is undertaking critical work on professional standards and regulation for our global profession. These excellent appointments arrive at the perfect moment, and with the successful inductions complete, we are already at work.
Chris Alder, senior executive at RICS, added: “Establishing and maintaining world leading standards and regulatory practices is a central tenet of RICS’ global role, and the SRB lies at the heart of strategy and decision-making in this area.”
In June last year, all members of the SRB resigned and an interim board was appointed.
