With just over a week left to apply, IoD Wales is reminding senior leaders that applications remain open for its next National Chair, ahead of Richard Selby MBE DL stepping down after five years in the role.
Richard is concluding two successful terms, during which he guided IoD Wales through a period of growth and transition, solidifying its position as a leading voice for business leaders in Wales and across the UK.
The incoming Chair will be responsible for building on this progress by working closely with members, regional committees and partners. The role will focus on strengthening governance, expanding membership and representing Welsh business at senior levels.
Richard Selby MBE DL, current Chair of IoD Wales, said:
“It has been a privilege to serve as Chair for the past five years, during which IoD Wales has strengthened its influence and profile. The organisation is built on its people, and I am confident the next Chair will bring a fresh perspective and energy to continue supporting our members and the wider business community in Wales.
“I would encourage senior leaders with a pan-Wales outlook and a passion for governance to put themselves forward.”
Jo Price, Nations Manager for Wales, added:
“Finding the right Chair is crucial as we look ahead to an important period for Wales, particularly with the Senedd election next year. This role is about more than representing IoD members, it is about supporting the Welsh business community through its next stage of growth and making sure their voice is heard at every level.
“We’re looking for someone with the vision and commitment to champion Welsh business and drive lasting impact.”
This voluntary position provides a platform to influence, connect and represent IoD Wales both nationally and internationally.
Applications must be submitted before 30 November 2025 by sending a CV and covering letter to [email protected]. Those interested in an informal discussion about the role can contact [email protected].
