Governance
The CIEP is run by its office staff and Council. The operation of the Institute is governed by three important documents:
The main provisions relating to annual general meetings can be found in the Regulations (Part III: Meetings of the Institute) and bylaws 25–28, 32 and 34.
See also the standing orders for the AGM procedures.
The Institute has a number of other documents that support its aims:
- Annual reports and accounts
