Council Members (Trustees)

Key responsibilities of Council are to:
• set the Mission, Vision and Values of the NAM;
• develop the overall strategy with the NAM Director and Senior Leadership Team;
• oversee operational and financial performance;
• provide guidance to the Director and Senior Leadership Team;
• maintain effective board performance.

Members of Council are appointed for a three-year term, normally extended by a second three-year term to six years, and are not remunerated (reasonable expenses will be paid).

There are a minimum of four meetings a year but preparation time, service on sub-committees and other Council duties can considerably increase this time commitment. Meetings are normally held at the NAM Chelsea in London.

The Council recognises and actively promotes the benefits of a diverse membership and is committed to equality of opportunity. During this round we are particularly looking to diversify our membership.

Timetable
The closing date for all applications is Friday 6 March 2026. Interviews will be held in April 2026 at the Museum in Chelsea, London.

Appointments are subject to references.
