Notes to editors:

1. The REC council consists of up to 17 directors who are representatives of corporate members and up to seven directors who are representatives of individual members of the IRP, appointed either by the membership at the Annual General Meeting of the REC or by the council itself during the course of the year as vacancies arise. One quarter of the directors will stand down each year at the AGM, and any member can be nominated for election, in accordance with the articles.
2. Using online voting, 4% of recruitment businesses in REC membership voted for their preferred candidates to fill corporate non-executive director positions on the board, and 4.7% of members of the Institute of Recruitment Professionals (IRP) voted for candidates to represent the IRP as individual non-executive directors.","sans-serif";>
