The rule changes made in connection with PI’s strategy update were confirmed at the second reading in the Autumn Meeting in November. Familiarise yourself with the current rules.
The aim of the rule changes was to modernise and clarify the association’s governance model. As part of the strategy process, the selection process for PI’s Board and other trust positions has also been developed to increase transparency. By moderately increasing the size of the Board and the rotation of Board seats, the aim is to enable a greater number of member companies and individual members to participate in the association’s decision-making.
During January, PI’s member companies will be asked whether they wish to nominate a candidate for PI’s Board for the upcoming term. There will also be changes to the Securities Committee and the Scholarship Committee. If you are interested in serving in a governance-related trust position within PI, please express your interest via the attached form by 31 January 2026. Below you’ll find additional information about PI’s governance:
PI’s Board
- The association’s affairs are managed by a Board consisting of a Chair, a Vice Chair, and members, with the total number of Board members being no fewer than eight (8) and no more than eighteen (18).
- The Board appoints the Chief Executive Officer, who leads the association’s operational activities and implements the Board’s decisions. The CEO participates in Board meetings as a presenting member.
- Each year, the Board selects from among its members a Working Committee of the Board responsible for preparing matters and handling routine business. The Working Committee of the Board consists of the Chair, the Vice Chair, the CEO, and at least three and no more than five Board members.
- The Board may establish committees to prepare and manage assigned tasks and may propose to the association’s meeting that chairs for these committees be appointed. The committees are tasked with independently promoting the association’s goals within their respective areas of expertise under the Board’s supervision.
- The Executive Committee and the committees operate under the authority of the Board.
Stock Committee
- The Stock Committee (APL) is responsible, under the direction and oversight of PI’s Board, for the development of the investment assets related to the association’s core activities, as well as the investment assets of PI’s scholarship fund, in order to achieve set objectives.
Scholarship Committee
- The Scholarship Committee acts as a preparatory body for the Board in matters relating to scholarships, grants, recognition awards, and badges of merit.
At the beginning of February, the Election Committee responsible for the association’s elections will convene for the first time to prepare a proposal for the upcoming personal appointments. The final proposal will be completed by the end of March and presented to the Annual Meeting on 16 April 2026.
