Commenting after the election, Chair Beatrice Fraenkel said: \u2018Congratulations to all of those who have been successfully elected to the Board. I look forward to welcoming our colleagues to the Board, starting with an induction day in April. The induction day provides our newly-elected members with an introduction to the Board\u2019s work as they begin to contribute to the delivery of our statutory role.<\/p>\n

As a Board, we are acutely aware that we have a duty to ensure the consistently high standards of corporate governance that are expected of a public body and, as a Board, we will work together in promoting a culture that embraces diversity and honours our governance responsibilities in carrying forward the important work that we are charged with delivering. \u2018<\/p>\n

Brief biographies for Ruth Brennan and Andrew Mortimer are available on ARB\u2019s website. Biographies for John Assael, Hans Eisner, Susan Ware, Alex Wright and Richard Parnaby will be available on the website with effect from 1 April.<\/p>\n

ARB is the statutory body established by Parliament under the Architects Act 1997 to regulate the UK architects\u2019 profession in the public interest. The Act requires ARB, among other things, to:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Maintain the Register of Architects (Section 3)<\/p>\n

\u2022 Prescribe qualifications for entry to the Register of Architects (Section 4)<\/p>\n

\u2022 Deal with competence to practise (Section 9)<\/p>\n

\u2022 Issue a Code which lays down standards of professional conduct and practice (Section 13)<\/p>\n

\u2022 Regulate use of the title \u2018architect\u2019 and take action when it is being used unlawfully (Section 20)<\/p>\n

ARB has a Board of 15 members, seven of whom are architects elected by the profession. The remaining eight are members of the public appointed by the Privy Council to represent the interests of consumers and users of architectural services.<\/p>\n

Board members serve for a term of three years. They can, if re-elected or re-appointed, serve for two consecutive terms, six years in total. A Board member who has held office for a continuous period of six years may not be elected or appointed as a member until at least three years have elapsed since he or she last held office. Board members receive an allowance of \u00a3250 per day or part thereof spent on Board business.<\/p>\n

The election is overseen by the independent body, Electoral Reform Services.<\/p>\n
