Your Vote. Your Board. Your BCI.
The candidates are confirmed and voting is now open for AMBCI members and above to elect 2026’s new representatives to the BCI Board of Directors.
These appointments will help shape the strategic direction, support long-term growth, and ensure members' voices are represented at the highest level. We would like to thank all candidates for their willingness to stand for election. Their commitment and expertise are invaluable to the continued success of the BCI and the resilience profession.
Why your vote matters
The BCI is a member-led organisation and relies on the active participation of its community. Voting is one of the most direct ways to influence the future and the leadership that represents members around the world.
The board plays a vital role in shaping strategy, overseeing governance and supporting the BCI's long-term success. By casting your vote, you help choose the individuals who will guide the organisation and make decisions on behalf of the global membership.
Supporting diversity and strong governance
Strong governance depends on engaged members and a board that reflects the breadth of the profession it serves. Research consistently shows that diverse boards make stronger decisions. A broad mix of skills, experiences and perspectives helps challenge assumptions and supports better organisational performance. Diversity includes differences in professional background, sector experience, geography, age, ways of thinking, and lived experience. Bringing together a broad range of perspectives helps the board consider challenges from multiple viewpoints and make more balanced decisions.
As the profession develops, it is important that the board reflects both experienced leaders and emerging professionals who bring fresh perspectives, new ideas, and an understanding of the challenges facing the next generation of resilience practitioners. By voting in the election, you help shape a modern, representative board that reflects the diversity of the resilience profession and is well equipped to meet the needs of its global community.
Consider the candidates
Every candidate has a different story to tell, and a different vision for the future.
We encourage all eligible members to review the candidate statements carefully and consider how each individual's expertise can contribute to the board's effectiveness and the continued success of the BCI.
Whether you are a long-standing member or newly certified, your vote matters. Every vote helps ensure the board represents the interests, priorities, and diversity of its membership.

Voting closes on 7 November so don't miss your opportunity to have your say.
Take a few moments to review the candidates, cast your vote, and help shape the future of your BCI.
