Following an extensive appointment process in 2023, RICS has appointed four accomplished individuals to key governance roles to support an effective governance structure at RICS.

Commencing their roles on 01 January 2024:

Liz Peace CBE and Gurpreet Dehal join the Governing Council, serving as Senior Independent Governor and Independent Member, respectively. These roles bring an independent perspective, crucial to supporting RICS’ public advantage objective. The Senior Independent Governor, also sitting on the RICS Board, plays a pivotal role in supporting the President, acting as a liaison between Governing Council members and governance body chairs.

Douglas McCormick and Kelly Olsen join the RICS Board, as Chair of the Membership Services Committee and RICS Board member with digital and technology skills respectively. Douglas is an RICS member with global experience and Kelly has a background in Chief Operating Officer and Chief Information Officer roles. Both these roles are important in ensuring that the RICS Board has the breadth of experience it requires to meet the challenges of being a world class institution.

These appointments strengthen RICS’ commitment to effective governance, diverse perspectives, and advancing the profession globally.
