Members, Fellows, Associates, Graduates, Apprentices and Part Time Students keen on doing more to help represent their profession and promote the standing of the Institution are strongly encouraged to put their names forward as CIHT Council members. 

In June 2022 there will be three vacancies for Ordinary Members of Council.

Council advises on the strategic and professional direction of the Institution, so by becoming a Council member you will be able to play an important role in shaping the future of the Institution for many years to come.

Being a Council Member is a job to be taken seriously, however it is also an enjoyable and rewarding experience, offering you the opportunity to give something back to the profession, and to meet and network with some interesting people. 

Deborah Sims, CIHT President, explains why someone should join Council:

“I think there are three reasons for joining Council. Firstly, it's an opportunity to influence your industry, contribute to the wider debate around transport and help steer the direction of CIHT. Secondly, it's a good way of promoting your company and your sector. We need more diversity from across the whole profession, and if you think your company, or, your professional interests within the highways and transportation industry are underrepresented, this is an opportunity to change that. Finally, it's an opportunity to develop new skills and promote yourself within the industry and your company; raising your profile, providing you with networking opportunities, and widening your horizons!”

Council meetings are held three times per year.  Council members are elected for a period of three years and may stand for re-election for a further three-year term.  In addition to serving on Council, all Council members are asked to contribute by serving either on a Board, Panel or taking up other advisory roles.
