Submit a nomination for the UICC Board and President-Elect until 1st July 2020

This is the opportunity for members to submit candidates who will form the team that provides strategic direction to the organisation for the next two years. 

The Nominating Committee[ii] will be responsible for reviewing the nominations received. Along with the UICC President, the Committee will put forward to the General Assembly[iii] an appropriate number of candidates[iv] for the elections of the next President-Elect and members of the Board of Directors.

Members can participate in the process by nominating candidates via the link provided below and/or voting at the General Assembly for the UICC Board of Directors and the UICC President-Elect.

The General Assembly will be held virtually, for the first time ever, on 6th October 2020, allowing all members to join from anywhere in the world. 

In order to facilitate the nomination process and help members identify nominees, two Terms of Reference describe the criteria for candidates for Board of Directors and for the President-Elect.
