There are three upcoming vacancies on the IAQM Committee. To fill these positions, we are looking for members who want to contribute to the work and development of the Institute over the next few years.

Why join the Committee?

This is your chance to give something back to the air quality community and gain valuable committee experience, build your network and help shape the air quality sector. 

Members of the IAQM Committee:

• contribute to the strategic oversight of the Institute, including guidance, event planning and delivery, and other membership services;
• are committed to the principle of collective responsibility;
• engage actively with other Committee members and IES staff; and
• act as ambassadors for the IAQM.

Committee members serve on a voluntary basis, initially for a three year term. Candidates must be Members or Fellows of the IAQM and should be able to commit to making a contribution to the work of the Committee. We hold four Committee meetings a year and members are expected to attend, and contribute to, the majority of these meetings. Please note remote attendance is permitted.

How to get involved

IAQM Full members or Fellows are eligible to join the IAQM Committee.

Associates, Members and Fellows can nominate and self-nominations are permitted. All nominations will require a seconder (who must also be an Associate, Member or Fellow). To nominate please submit an email to Ethny Childs (ethny@the-ies.org) and copy in the seconder who must then confirm through a follow-up email.

All nominees will be required to provide a 200 word biography, which also includes what they will bring to the IAQM Committee, and a separate .png or .jpg headshot. This information will then be provided to IAQM members ahead of voting.

We will close to nominations on the 17th October at 12pm. Please note that only those with sufficient time to dedicate to the Committee should stand for election.

Membership of the IAQM Committee is agreed at the Annual General Meeting, which will be held on 26th November online. 

Equal opportunities

The IAQM is committed to fostering an inclusive culture of volunteers which reflects the diversity that exists within society, and provides equal opportunities from which everyone has the potential to benefit. We encourage individuals from minority backgrounds to apply for Committee positions as these groups are currently underrepresented within the IAQM Committee. These are unremunerated roles, but we would welcome the opportunity to support applicants with any specific needs, such as caring responsibilities, which traditionally inhibit participation in governance.
