IfL Advisory Council
At the 2009 annual general meeting of the Institute for Learning (IfL), fellows voted in favour of special resolutions, changing the IfL’s governing documents and allowing the creation of a new governance structure with increased member representation.
The new governing structure includes an Advisory Council and a non-executive Board of Directors. This is illustrated in the diagram below:
- IfL Advisory Council: includes 40 elected members and up to 20 representatives from partner organisations representing the diversity of the sector, as well as five observers. The IfL Advisory Council:
- Distils the voice of members
- Influences and shapes IfL policy and strategy
- Meets three times a year (first meeting in January 2010)
- Elects the non-executive Board of Directors from its own body.
- Non-executive Board of Directors: will include nine elected members from Council, three places for partner organisations from Council and up to three co-opted places. The Board of Directors:
- Gives strategic direction for IfL
- Ensures business probity
- Has sub-committees focussed on specific requirements, including audit
- Will meet nine times a year.
