About the CBI

Chairmen's committee

The Chairmen's committee is constituted as a standing committee, with delegated authority of the Council

Its membership consists of the chairmen of the regional, SME and Trade Association Councils, and of the remaining standing committees. The president (or deputy president/director-general) chairs it.

Its role is to:

  • Decide the consensus of opinion from the constituent bodies and standing committees
  • Give final approval to policy on that basis
  • Decide urgent matters of policy
  • Ensure that policy shall at all times have regard to the interests of all CBI members whether their businesses be large or small
  • Approve the appointment of the director-general
  • Nominate the prospective president and deputy president for election at the annual general meeting

The Committee meets four times a year.
