Nominations for the 2020 elections reflect IAMCR’s global membership. The nomination period ended 17 March, 2020.
Executive Board
For the Executive Board we have one nominee for President with a sway of nominations, and five nominees for Vice President from four continents, Africa, Asia, Europe and South America. The current Secretary General and Treasurer have been renominated for a second term.
International Council
For the 15 positions on the International Council, we have 27 nominations, three of them overlapping with vice presidential nominations. The nominations for International Council similarly underline IAMCR’s international constituency. The nominees come from sixteen different countries and one territory: Argentina, two from Australia, Belgium, five nominations from Brazil, China, Finland, Germany, Hong Kong, three nominations from India, Italy, Namibia, the Netherlands, Portugal, Russia, Spain, two nominations from South Africa and three from the United States. This list of nominees speaks of IAMCR as a truly global association.

Like the nominations, they should be sent to beate.josephi@sydney.edu.au and membership@iamcr.org. Endorsements are accepted from current paid up IAMCR members only, and can be made in any of IAMCR’s three official languages.
