Each year at our Annual General Meeting the Committee of Trustees is appointed. Our Committee of Trustees must both reflect and represent the interests of all ILPA members, from all sectors of immigration work and throughout the UK.
The Annual General Meeting (AGM) will take place this year on Wednesday 22 November 2023 from 4pm. Details will be announced soon but please keep the date in your diary (estimated duration 4pm – 6pm).
Nominations for Committee of Trustees 2023 are now open for October 2023
The timetable for nominations is:
Nominations open: Monday 9 October 2023
Nominations close: 5pm Tuesday 31 October 2023
Members will receive the link to the online web portal for nominations by email and can also access it at https://ilpa.org.uk/ilpa-committee-of-trustees-nominations-web-portal-2023-link/.
If we get enough interested members standing as trustees we will move to an online ballot of members, open from 9 November and closing at 4pm on the day before the AGM, 21 November, results to be announced at the AGM.
Whatever your area of work or level of experience you have something to offer.
We urge all interested members to put themselves forward for election to the Committee of Trustees.
Trustees play a pivotal role in ensuring that ILPA operates in the best interests of its members and stays true to its mission of promoting and improving the advice and representation of migrants and securing a non-racist, non-sexist, just and equitable system of immigration, refugee and nationality law practice.
As a trustee you will have the opportunity to support and shape our work and direction of the organisation. You can make a significant difference that’s not only important to you, but also to all of our members. ILPA immensely appreciates the experience, expertise and passion that our Trustees bring to the organisation.

ILPA’s Articles of Association
I’m a trustee of ILPA because the organisation has been a great support to me throughout my legal career. Now having the opportunity to use my experience and skills to shape the direction of the organisation, and support its development, is really rewarding.
