With this tailored package for board members and governance professionals we’ve seen our board member community expand rapidly, giving you the opportunity to find and network with our like-minded professionals in the housing sector.

  • 12 months professional CIH membership for up to 12 people
  • Instant access to all member benefits
  • Induction to membership for all board members
  • Annual progress review, with activity reviews on request
  • Exclusive updates direct to members. 

Why take CIH professional board membership?

As well as receiving all the standard benefits of CIH membership such as access to our professional development tools, knowledge and policy resources, and full access to our mentoring programme to allow your development as a mentee or mentor, this package offers additional benefits to those taking our Building Better Boards package:  

  • Quarterly tailored event with a ‘state of the nation’ session from a CIH representative
  • Bi-annual membership sessions and contact with your CIH regional/national engagement manager, designed to support members to get the most value from membership
  • The offer of a CIH representative to attend your board meeting (virtual) on an annual basis (by prior arrangement).

Having the CIH membership as a board member gives board members a great insight to some of the issues that happen in the sector outside of your own bubble. Board members get updates as part of the membership and also a seat at the table at national and regional events.
