Individual Board members bring their independent judgment, wide expertise and critical detachment to
discussions and decision making. They contribute their professional and general management skil s to
the Board (and its committees) in a non-executive role.
The Board’s responsibilities are to:
Determine ARB’s policies so that they deliver ARB’s functions under the Act, and also meet the
needs of users of architects’ services, the general public and the profession it serves;
Ensure that sufficient resources are in place and are used effectively and prudently to support
and underpin the functions of the Act, and to safeguard the solvency of ARB and its assets;
Ensure that high standards of corporate governance are maintained in the conduct of al its
business in accordance with the principles of public life.
This scheme is intended to help Board members to discuss and develop their existing skil s and
knowledge, as well as giving them the opportunity to gain expertise in other areas. It wil enhance a
Board member’s effectiveness and help them to get the most out of their time in office.
