The Trustees are supported by a Council, which approves the Trustee Board members and are themselves directly elected by the members.
The Council has an essential role in representing the views of the membership to the Trustee Board. It also debates issues of relevance to civil engineering, the Institution and society, to understand and recognise the implications of the changing nature of civil engineering and to support the Trustees in ensuring ICE is considered a global centre of excellence championing the role civil engineering plays at the heart of society.
If you’re an ICE member, you can access minutes and summaries of Council meetings.
Council is made up of 38 members from different countries and grades of membership. Every year, certain positions on our Council become available, so members can stand for these positions. They receive votes from other ICE members.
Council members serve for three years and are directly elected by the membership.
Our president promotes the institution and the profession in the UK and around the world. ICE has a different president every year.
