How APM is run
The Association for Project Management (APM) is the chartered body for the project profession and is the United Kingdom member association of IPMA. It is incorporated by Royal Charter RC000890 and is governed by its Charter, which is supplemented by its regulations. APM is a registered charity No. 1171112, VAT No. 261 595 782.
Individuals in the Full member and Fellow grades (MAPM/FAPM) are ‘voting members’ and have the right to attend general meetings. In accordance with the Charter, the board of APM also agrees regulations to cover detailed aspects of governance. This includes the matters that the board has devolved to staff of APM to undertake on its behalf.
APM has a board of 9 elected trustees (who must be Full members) and up to three appointed trustees.
The role of the board and board members is explained in more detail here, and in the candidate briefing pack for the annual elections.
