Karen Arriaza Ibarra - Candidate for Vice-president

Endorsement

I'd like to endorse Karen Arriaza Ibarra as a candidate for IAMCR Vice-President.
Karen is a long-standing member of the IAMCR. She has served on the International Council for the past eight years, and she also served three terms as Chair (and Vice-Chair) of the International Communication section.
As Karen's statement confirms, she has a commitment to diversity in international representation. She also speaks all three "official" IAMCR languages and as many of you will know, she is is not only a leading scholar in her field but unfailingly collegial and supportive. I believe she would make an excellent Vice- President.

You will make a fine Vice-President of the IAMCR, Dr Karen. Your contribution in the field makes you the best candidate for the post. IAMCR will immensely benefit, if you are elected as the Vice-President. Best wishes.

I am very happy to endorse the candidature of Professor Karen Arriaza Ibarra for the Vice President of the IAMCR. Karen has been very active in the International Communication section of the organization, leading it very successfully and expanding and diversifying its membership. Her committment to IAMCR and what it stands for is admirable, as is her enthusiasm for the field of her study. I have known Karen for a long time and worked with her closely as most of my academic research is in the area of international communication. I believe, Karen would make for an excellent Vice President of the IAMCR, linking her European cultural and intellectual heritage to the extensive connections she has with scholars in South America and beyond.

Having had the pleasure of meeting Professor Karen Arriaza Ibarra at last year's conference in France，I'm honored to offer my endorsement for her candidacy as Vice President of IAMCR. Her warmth, coupled with her evident capability and dedication to fostering global diversity, makes her an exemplary leader. As a graduate student, I'm particularly excited about the prospect of her leadership, as it could potentially provide more opportunities for us to participate in international conferences and broaden our learning horizons. I sincerely hope that IAMCR flourishes under her guidance.

I have known Prof. Dr. Karen Arriaza Ibarra for a long time now, and I can testify that under her leadership in the last 12 years the International Communication section has become more inclusive, closer, and yet more diverse – thanks to her initiatives we have grown in size and in bonding friendship relationships among us. She has performed her role as Chair with true commitment and always with a smile and a gentle attitude. At an academic level she has a strong profile, and I have seen her speaking fluently in the three official languages, Spanish – English – French. She truly is an international fellow who has the best intentions for our association. I endorse her candidacy wholeheartedly as she would make an extraordinary Vice President of IAMCR.

Dr. Karen Arriaza Ibarra has provided young researchers with a deeper understanding of IAMCR. I know IAMCR from the Asia-Pacific Communication Forum 2023(APCF2023), in which Karen gave a keynote speech named Globalism and Multiculturalism in the International Context Today. I think Karen's promotion of a global perspective and multiculturalism is very attractive to young people from different regions. Young scholars should all hope for an outstanding and energetic woman who respects multiculturalism to lead IAMCR in expanding its influence in the international academic and cultural fields.
I endorse her candidacy because Professor Karen Arriaza Ibarra will make an excellent Vice President of IAMCR.

I wholeheartedly endorse Professor Karen Arriaza Ibarra for the position of Vice President at IAMCR. Her professionalism, kindness, and organizational skills are evident from my experiences at various global events. As the chair of the International Communication Section, she organized a karaoke event in Lyon IAMCR conference, enhancing the conference’s joyful atmosphere. She was also invited as a keynote speaker of the Asia Pacific Communication Forum (APCF2023) at the University of Macau last year, where she gave an excellent presentation on Globalism and Multiculturalism in the International Context. With her international experience, linguistic proficiency, global academic perspective, and engaging demeanor, Professor Arriaza Ibarra is exceptionally qualified to excel as an IAMCR Vice President.

Professor Dr. Karen Arriaza Ibarra is an organic intellectual who has devoted a significant portion of her academic career to mentoring and nurturing emerging scholars. Her remits include serving as Chair of the ‘International Communication’ Section for 8 years; and Vice Chair of the “International Communication” Section for 4 years. This is an attestation to her unwavering commitment to the IAMCR family.
She has served as a visiting and guest professor at universities in Sweden, Italy, Belgium, France, the United States, Germany, and China, which attest to her scholarly depth and global recognition. If elected as Vice President, one of her visions for IAMCR is to promote inclusivity among all members. Karen stands out from other candidates because her VP strategy will emphasize communicating more frequently with academics, researchers, and emerging scholar networks from regions worldwide in any of IAMCR's three official languages, which she fluently speaks: English, Spanish (especially with our colleagues from Latin America), and French-speaking regions. I am confident that if elected, she will provide greater value to the IAMCR community and leave it in a better place than she found it. Thus, I wholeheartedly endorse her nomination for Vice President of IAMCR. A vote for Karen Arriaza Ibarra as Vice President of IAMCR is a vote for inclusivity, transparency, dedication, mentoring, and international partnerships and collaborations for all the IAMCR members. Vote for Karen Arriaza Ibarra as Vice President of IAMCR!

I met Karen Arriaza Ibarra at the IAMCR conference in Istanbul in 2011, when we were both only IAMCR conference participants. Since then, we have maintained contact for personal friendship and also through several collaborations and mutual friends. In the Nordic countries Karen is well known because she leads a research group at her university focused on the Nordic model of the Information Society and its relationship with Spain, and she got so involved that she even started to learn Swedish, which she currently speaks at the B1 level (besides from English, French, and her mother tongue, Spanish). This is only to demonstrate how much she truly gets involved in the projects that illusion her, which normally are several because she is very energetic. In time, we became leaders of our respective sections – me at the Political Communication section, she at the International Communication section. I have witnessed her devotion and true dedication to her section in these 12 years. Now that she is candidate for Vice President, I can only wish her the best in this role, as IAMCR will benefit immensely from having a Vice President so responsible, kind, cordial and proactive as Karen Arriaza Ibarra.
