RIBA Sustainable Futures Group Member Application |
Thank you for your interest in joining the RIBA Sustainable Futures Group. Please complete the form by the 13 September 2018 and send your CV to the Practice Department, practice@riba.org. Please outline in the email that you are applying to join the Sustainable Futures Group. We will consider all applications and respond by the beginning of October 2018.
The Sustainable Futures Group identifies key issues for the profession to address in order to maximise its contribution to sustainable development. The group advises on the formulation of relevant RIBA policy, which seeks to influence the government and industry on matters of sustainability. Group members advise the RIBA Practice and Profession Committee (PPC) on the effective incorporation of sustainability aspects in the curriculum for schools of architecture and CPD and on the development of professional standards to ensure issues of sustainability are appropriately integrated.
We welcome applications from all sections of the architectural community and aim for the group to reflect a wide range of experience, background, regional representation and practice size. Where possible we aim for an even gender split.
Group members are expected to attend 3 meetings annually and to respond to occasional email requests for input into RIBA responses to government consultations. The meetings are an opportunity to discuss current industry and policy issues and to provide input in relevant RIBA activities. Failure to attend two consecutive meetings will terminate membership.
If you are concerned about your ability to attend group meetings in person due to any mobility issues, please get in touch to discuss options for remote participation.
Members may also be invited to contribute to RIBA media and communications, speak at RIBA or other industry events or to give oral evidence to government. These latter activities are all voluntary.
Group members are expected to act in the interests of the RIBA, the profession and the public and not to represent their individual or company commercial interests.
The initial term of membership is 2 years. Membership may be renewed for a further two terms to a maximum of 6 years.
