Hodder's presidential agenda derailed by dysfunctional RIBA

摘要

RIBA President Stephen Hodder has been unable to implement the 'ambitious programme' of reform he planned for the RIBA because of serious problems with its governance, he has admitted. Ten months into his two-year term and speaking following an RIBA Council meeting largely held in secret last week, Hodder said issues with the way the organisation is run dating back to Ruth Reed's presidency between 2009 and 2011 had 'just not been addressed'. His admission came as the institute agreed to set up an emergency task group, headed by 'an experienced lawyer', to sort out ongoing problems with the way the organisation is run.
