RBL Elections: Upcoming Leadership Opportunities

The Royal British Legion will shortly be opening nominations for a number of important leadership roles, providing members with the opportunity to contribute to the direction and governance of the organisation.

Nominations for the Women’s Section National Chair and Vice Chair roles will open on 27 July 2026.

All Women’s Section branches will be entitled to put forward an individual for nomination for both positions. Nominations must be made through a Women’s Section Branch and in line with the requirements set out in the election materials.

The National Chair of the Women’s Section also serves as a Trustee of the Royal British Legion Board. As such, the election process for this role will follow the established National Elections process for Trustees, which has been developed and refined over the past two years to ensure a consistent, robust and transparent approach.

This includes a structured nomination, verification and assessment process designed to ensure that candidates meet the required standards and are appropriately considered before any election is held.

Further information, including role profiles, nomination requirements and key dates, will be made available on this page ahead of the nomination window opening.

Further Information

Full election packs, guidance on nominations, and details of briefing sessions will be published on this page in advance of each nomination window. Members and branches are encouraged to review the materials carefully and consider putting forward suitable candidates.
