Transparency International’s Annual Membership Meeting 2025 Elects New Board Members and Adopts Key Resolutions Addressing Corruption and Pressures on Civil Society

Held online November 7–9, 2025, the meeting elected four board members, selected a new member for the Membership Accreditation Committee, and adopted five resolutions supporting the movement’s mission to strengthen governance and combat corruption globally

Transparency International’s 2025 Annual Membership Meeting (AMM) brought together Official Chapter Representatives from across the movement to approve the Annual Report and Financial Statements, vote on resolutions, and elect new board members.

New Board Members
In this year’s Board election, five candidates competed for four seats. The newly elected Board Members, each serving a three-year term, are:

  • Duncan Hames (TI United Kingdom)
  • Ernie Ko (TI Taiwan)
  • Abeer Mdanat (TI Jordan)
  • Peter van Veen (TI Netherlands)

Membership Accreditation Committee
Dominique Rakotomalala (TI Madagascar) was elected to the Membership Accreditation Committee (MAC) and will serve a three-year term, working to support chapter governance and development.

AMM Resolutions
Five resolutions were approved by the AMM. Three focused on updates to AMM Procedures on Nomination, AMM Procedures on Resolutions, and the Accreditation Policy. Key changes include allowing resolutions to be submitted year-round and strengthening guidance for collaboration with local organisations where no TI presence exists.

The AMM also approved a resolution requesting a feasibility study for holding in person / hybrid memberships meetings, alongside the IACC.

Addressing Corruption and Pressures on Civil Society
The AMM declares:

As millions of Americans march to protest rising U.S. authoritarianism and kleptocracy, The AMM calls on the Group of Seven (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK, USA, plus the EU) to immediately launch concrete anti-corruption actions with global impact so that citizens everywhere can hold their governments to account – explicitly actions in five areas:

  • Denounce all actions that shrink civil society space, curb free speech, and censor media.
  • Restore foreign aid funding to 2023 levels, including explicit support for civil society.
  • Press for full enforcement by the US of the FCPA, and increased enforcement by all of the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention.
  • Secure far greater cooperation to curb dirty money flows and punish enablers.
  • Ensure that all branches of law enforcement act with independence on behalf of the interests of all peoples, safeguarding the legal, civil, and human rights of all, and countering corruption at every turn.

Transparency International’s 2025 AMM reaffirmed the movement’s strategic priorities and ongoing commitment to building a stronger, more effective global network against corruption.
