The Smith Institute - Trustees

The Smith Institute is an independent think tank, which is also a Registered Charity. It undertakes research and education in issues that flow from the changing relationship between social values and economic imperatives. In recent years the Institute has centred its work on the policy implications arising from the interactions of equality, enterprise and equity. Its main activity is the organisation of seminars and events, across the UK but mainly in London, and the publication of a series of monographs in print and on this website.

Given the impending retiral of the four “founding trustees” of the Institute, the Trustees under their new Chairman Lord Murray Elder, are looking to appoint up to two additional members of the Board. Further details of the position of trustee are available from the Chair: anyone interested in putting themselves forward as a trustee of the Smith Institute is invited to send a letter before Wednesday 11 th June 2008, giving full details of their background and current interests, to:
