OPINION TIME TO VOTE Philip King urges members to vote for the new CICM Advisory Council as nominations close. AS we go to press, there are only a few days remaining for nominations for election to the Chartered Institute of Credit Management’s Advisory Council – the first elections since we gained Chartered status. At the time of the last elections in 2014 we were hopeful that we would be granted our Royal Charter; now more than 12 months later, we have achieved something truly deserving of our profession and the people in it. Stuart Rock, editor-in-chief of the Business is GREAT campaign recently wrote that the standards and values of Chartered Bodies are recognised and respected by policy-makers, regulators and businesses around the world. He’s right, and there couldn’t be a better time to get involved and have your voice heard. And that’s why we need your votes. Over many years, I have belonged to a number of organisations. For some it has been an arms-length relationship in which I’ve occasionally used a service or obtained advice; for others it’s been a passion and I’ve become fully immersed. I first served on what was then the Council of the Institute of Credit Management in 1997 having already become a member of the Institute’s Education Committee and been involved in teaching, examining and much more, related to the education scheme. Like many of us at the time no doubt, and perhaps some of you today, credit management was a career I had found, and loved, and it has subsequently become a passion. My engagement with the Institute developed over the years in several ways and the rest, as they say, is history. My passion for everything ‘credit’, I am pleased to say, has never diminished. If anything, it has increased and the future By voting, you will have an opportunity to influence the strategy, policy and future direction of the Institute through those you elect. and success of the Institute depends on others with a similar passion getting involved. Good governance requires all stakeholders to be represented and heard. SO WHY ARE YOUR VOTES IMPORTANT? Our Advisory Council is comprised of members who are themselves elected by members and who represent your views at the table. By voting, you will have an opportunity to influence the strategy, policy and future direction of the Institute through those you elect. There are 23 Advisory Council positions representing our 11 regions and the Trade, Consumer, International and Credit Services sectors. Voting starts on Monday 25 April and, under the terms of our Charter, is restricted to full Members and Fellows. One of the first roles for our new council members will be to consider our major research programme that recently closed, and from which we will be determining much of our future strategy and direction. It is an important piece of work, and I will tell you more about it in due course. But for now, for those who have stood for election I thank you, and for those who also want to see that their voices are heard, make sure you put your cross in the box. 12 April 2016 www.cicm.com The recognised standard in credit management
