Join the PRI
Board of Directors.
The Board sets the strategic direction of the Institute. We meet quarterly, we are unpaid, and we are deliberately broad — seeking representation from every APAC market and every discipline within operational resilience. If you've spent a decade or more in the field and want to shape the standard, apply.

The role
Govern the standard. Not run the business.
Directors set strategic direction; the Registrar and faculty run day-to-day operations. The commitment is real but bounded — four quarterly meetings, one strategy day, and the occasional regulator-facing position. You are appointed for your judgement and your network, not for hours-at-desk.
- ·Attend four quarterly board meetings (virtual, ~3 hours each) and one annual in-person strategy day.
- ·Set the strategic direction of the Institute — curriculum, regulatory engagement, regional priorities.
- ·Represent your market and discipline in deliberations; surface what practitioners in your region actually need.
- ·Review and approve standards, the code of ethics, and SCRO conferrals.
- ·Act as an ambassador for PRI within your market and professional community.
