As part of our regular rotation schedule, a Directorship on the PraxisAuril Board will become available on 1 January 2022. Applications are invited from PraxisAuril members for appointment to the Board for a 4-year term.
PraxisAuril is a world-leading professional association for KE. It has robust governance and business systems, processes and practices in place to ensure the organisation is both aligned with its strategic mission and fully sustainable, financially and in terms of human resource. The PraxisAuril Board defines, evolves and communicates policy and strategy; monitors and controls implementation and performance of strategic plans and programmes; and ensures corporate governance.
The PrA Board should reflect an equitable, diverse, inclusive and representative mix of skills and experience, pertinent to the strategic mission of PrA. Board appointments and rotations may occur at any time of year, to ensure that Directors’ terms of office are appropriately staggered and allow for continuity and sensible handover periods. Upcoming vacancies for Directorships are promoted via the PrA network and communications channels and expressions of interest invited.
A sub-committee of the Board (the Appointments Committee) reviews applications and recommends to the Board the appointment of the most suitable candidate in line with appointment criteria and requirements of the organisation at that time. The Appointments Committee is comprised of the current Chair, immediate Past Chair or Chair Elect; a PrA Ambassador or recent, former Board Member and an external stakeholder representative.
