1)Jacinta Caden 2)Graeme Fox

Graeme Fox, the current head of REFCOM and Jacinta Caden, Business Development Manager at Integral Refrigeration have been appointed to the Institute of Refrigeration (IoR’s) board of trustees.

The record number of seven members were contending for the two available places on the board.  They attracted votes from 25 per cent of the Institute’s 1800 eligible voting members.

Their choices also indicated, perhaps, a desire for the Institute to be more inclusive. Graeme Fox’s background is predominantly air conditioning, a sector which has been underrepresented in the past. In addition to her obvious experience, the choice of Jacinta Caden is particularly relevant at a time when the Institute is taking a lead role in trying to attract more women into the industry.

The trustees are responsible for the governance of the IoR, influencing its direction and strategy, ensuring it addresses the needs of membership, as well as meeting its charity objectives and legal obligations. Nine members serve as IoR trustees. Each year two new trustees are elected and two of the existing trustees stand down.
