The RSA Trustee Elections are a very important part of the governance of the RSA and we encourage you to vote. Electoral Reform Services has been asked to administer the Trustee Elections and AGM on behalf of the RSA.

Voting has now opened for the Trustee Elections; there are three elected vacancies.    

Before voting, we strongly encourage you to read the personal statements of the candidates standing on the Governance web page. 

In addition, all candidates have recorded a brief video explaining why they are standing and what they would like to achieve as a Trustee. Watch these videos now.
