The first Board was appointed in January 1970, and was chaired by the late Eng. James Zikusooka.
In 2019, the Board and the engineering fraternity marked its 50th anniversary. Like any other institution, ERB’s history has been shaped by the economic, social and political factors in the country there were even some periods when there was no Board appointed.

There have been eighteen Boards to date, the current Board being the eighteenth. In honor of the gallant engineers who served the engineering fraternity since the creation of ERB, the Boards and their compositions, from 1970 to date, are given here – below (and for colleagues who have since passed on, may their souls rest in eternal peace.)
