Board and Presidential roles open for applications

The Presidential Team

Vice Presidents act as ambassadors for the profession. They support high standards and represent the views of members. They work closely with Propertymark HQ to share insight from across the industry. Propertymark has Presidential Teams representing sales agents, letting agents, commercial agents, inventory clerks, auctioneers and valuers. The teams work collaboratively in the best interests of Propertymark and the property sector as a whole.

Entry into the team is through the Vice President role, moving into the President Elect role in year two and becoming President in the third year of their term. Years one and two are vital in preparing individuals for their third year as President where, as part of their duties, they will Chair their divisional Advisory Panel and Regional Executive meetings, attend Propertymark Board meetings and act as a high-profile ambassador for Propertymark and its members.

The Propertymark Board

The Board’s core role is to agree the strategic direction, purpose and culture of the organisation; set priorities and objectives; and safeguard its long-term sustainability. Predominantly made up of working practitioners, the Board combines real-world industry insight with independent oversight. Together, they ensure that Propertymark remains focused on delivering long-term, sustainable value for its members and upholding the highest standards of governance, overseeing performance and risk, scrutinising reports and proposals from the Senior Management Team.

Through structured Board and Committee meetings, Directors consider both routine and strategic decisions, ensuring that governance is transparent, accountable and aligned with the organisation’s values. Directors are collectively responsible for decisions taken by the Board and are expected to act with integrity, declare and manage any conflicts of interest, and uphold legal, ethical and fiduciary duties.

As representatives of a member-led organisation, they balance practitioner insight with their responsibility to act in the best interests of Propertymark as a whole. Successful member-elected Directors will serve an initial four-year term.

Propertymark Board
The Board meets regularly throughout the year to set the strategic direction and monitor performance against objectives. The majority of the Board comprises Member Directors, each serving a four-year term with an option to stand for re-election for a second term.

The Voluntary roles include three representatives of NAEA Propertymark (including NAEA Commercial and NAVA Propertymark) and three representatives of ARLA Propertymark.

Regulatory Board
This is a new body, created by the Propertymark Board but independent of Propertymark, overseeing professional standards, regulatory policy and disciplinary frameworks.

The Regulatory Board is an important step forward in consumer credibility and separates regulation from representation. Co-opted Professional Members will play an important role on the Board. These are voluntary roles and not full voting members, but crucial in providing professional insight.

presidents
Presidents are elected to represent members and act as key spokespeople for the sector. They are regularly interviewed by the media and invited to speak at a wide range of events, both nationally and internationally.

The Presidency is supported by Propertymark staff and the wider Presidential team. Members are elected first as Vice Presidents, progress to President Elect in their second year, and take on the role of President in their third year.
