The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics) is appointing Alexandra Marks CBE as the new presiding chair of the Regulatory Tribunal.
Rics’ Regulatory Tribunal performs a critical role in upholding professional standards and maintaining public confidence in the institute’s self-regulatory model.
The tribunal has responsibility for independent decision making through RICS’ Disciplinary, Registration and Appeal Panels. It is independently led and consists of 25 individuals, including both RICS professionals and non-members.
Reporting to the Standards and Regulation Board, the tribunal operates at arm’s length from the rest of RICS regulatory operations to ensure its independence and integrity as an effective and fair decision-making body.
Marks will lead the Regulatory Tribunal in the performance of its regulatory function, ensuring its decisions uphold the public interest and retain public confidence in the Regulatory Tribunal, RICS and the professionalism of RICS members.
She currently chairs the Hardman Trust and is a trustee of The Howard League for Penal Reform LawCare (the mental health and wellbeing charity for the legal professions) and Standing Tall (a homelessness charity).
