RIBA Board and committees
RIBA Board
Following constitutional changes which came into effect in March 2020, a new RIBA Board has been created. It is responsible for the management of the RIBA’s business and Board members are the Trustees of the RIBA as a charity. It oversees the RIBA’s standing committees, with the exception of the Standards Committee, which reports to the Council.
