David McDonald said: \u2018The new discussion document encapsulates our thoughts on the future of the IHBC as a modern professional body, fit for purpose and working to modern standards.\u00a0 By contributing to these plans, you can help shape and refine our thoughts to date, and help us bring them to fruition in the best possible way.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Here James has pulled together a huge variety of data, strategies and issues, following more than a decade of exploration, interrogation, and debate across the IHBC.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018In the past, as our consultations consultant, we have all seen James tie together innumerable threads and dispositions into a meaningful, coherent and balanced set of conclusions, and help us find the right way forward.\u00a0 We think he has managed to do that again in this document, helping us nail down structures for the modernisation of our governance.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Also, like our ordinary consultations, James\u2019 draft demands further input and refinement from those who care about the IHBC and our work –\u00a0 our members \u2013 and now we want members of all categories and levels of engagement to help us plan and refine our next steps\u2019.<\/p>\n

James Caird said: \u2018The modernisation of our constitution must respond to modern standards of governance of course, but also reflect the new operations and capacity in the institute.\u00a0 And it needs to be able to respond to the rapidly changing working environment and needs of all of\u00a0 our members: offering both flexibility, but also stability.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018So, after drawing together thoughts, lessons and initiatives that have evolved since we first established the National Office in 2004, we have our base-line discussion document, approved by trustees at no less than two board meetings.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Now, David and I are travelling around those Branches and member meetings to discuss the issues and thoughts.\u00a0 And I’m delighted to have such positive feedback, and new ideas to work with too, and I look forward to hearing more over the coming weeks and months.\u2019<\/p>\n

IHBC Director Sean O\u2019Reilly said: \u2018Not everyone will be able to make those meetings \u2013 or want to \u2013 so James\u2019 paper offers everyone the chance to read and review current thoughts, and feed thoughts back to us.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Members \u2013 of all categories \u2013 are encouraged to do that direct to the dedicated email address governance@ihbc.org.uk<\/a> or to any of us, or at any of the local meetings too that we are attending across the country.\u2019<\/p>\n
