CIHT’s Presidential Team consists of the President and Vice-President. These are all members of the Board of Trustees, which also comprises the Chair of the Board, the Immediate Past President, Honorary Treasurer and up to eight Council Members (including the Chairs of the Strategic Boards).
As Trustees, the Board must ensure that the affairs of the Institution are kept in good order and that legal and statutory obligations are fulfilled. They are responsible for controlling the management and administration of the Institution and, if negligent, are personally liable. Trustees are also responsible for ensuring that the Institution fulfils its legal obligations as a Charity, including carrying out its purposes for the public benefit and producing and submitting statutory documents and accounts to the required deadlines.

CIHT Immediate Past President
Glenn is the Mott MacDonald Professor of Future Mobility at UWE Bristol. The appointment bridges between academia and practice and Glenn is dividing his time between the university and Mott MacDonald (on secondment).

Glenn’s achievement are too many to list here but it is safe to say that he has led the way in transport planning. Glenn has worked closely with CIHT and its members to challenge traditional thinking on how we plan transport interventions. Glenn was appointed by CIHT in 2015 to undertake the CIHT FUTURES study. His report and further work following the study has informed transport policy across the world.
