Election of UICC's Board of Directors 2024-2026 on Tuesday 8 October

During the General Assembly on Tuesday 8 October, UICC full-member organisations will elect the members of the UICC Board of Directors and the President-Elect for the next two years (2024 – 2026).

Following a thorough review of all submissions this past summer, the UICC Nominating Committee shortlisted a group of outstanding candidates with a mix of skillsets, geography, gender ,and cancer control backgrounds. The shortlist comprises 19 candidates for the 14 available Board of Director roles and two candidates for the President-elect position.

“I would like to thank everyone who has accepted to run for the elections for their availability, interest and motivation to help us support the cancer community and advance our mission. And I encourage all full members to review the candidates’ profiles and cast their votes. Your participation in the Board elections is critical to shaping the future of UICC.”
