The vice president on a local institute council supports the work of the overall council, offering help and advice. The role works to raise the profile and act as ambassador for the local institute across the region.
Remember, the role of the local institute is primarily to adopt the objectives of the CII, as defined in its Charter and Bye-laws, for the benefit of your local members, prospective members, and the local insurance and financial services community.
Consequently, the vice president should develop a close working relationship with the CII and also with the Regional Membership Manager for the region.
