Information for Nomination and Election of Candidates
The Section Bureau of the ICA-SUV is an elected body whose role is to steer the section’s activities and priorities for the benefit of all its members. The Section Bureau is currently constituted of: a Chair/President, a Vice-Chair, a Secretary and eight Executive Members. You can find their names here.
With this call for nominations, we begin the election process required for 2022 by the ICA-SUV electoral protocol. In this election cycle, the following positions need to be filled: Chair, Vice Chair, and four Executive Members. The new members of the Section Bureau will take office at the section’s Annual General Meeting in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, in September 2022.
Nominations and ballots may be returned by e-mail, not later than the 1 April 2022. Please find below further information on the nomination process and a nomination form and further deadlines. You can find a list of the current ICA-SUV members here.
Members are asked to respond promptly so that we can keep to the schedule and to send nominations and ballots to Gabriele Mohale gabriele.mohale@wits.ac.za [please use “ICA-SUV Nomination Form” as the subject of the email.]
Due to expire in September 2022 are the terms of the Chair, Vice Chair and four Executive Members:
Chair: Caroline Brown (UK)
Vice-Chair: Susanne Belovari (US)
Executive Members: Anne-Flore Laloë (Germany); Stacy Belcher Lee (Hong Kong S.A.R., China); Henry Alexander Rengifo Sanchez (Colombia); Eva Roca Marquès (Spain)
All of the above members may run for re-election if they wish.
The Section Bureau members elected in 2022 will serve a usual four-year term. Members are expected to be able to secure institutional support for attendance at least one Section Bureau meeting or conference a year. Although it is not necessary that the complete complement of the Section Bureau attend every meeting, it is important that the Chair and Secretary and a majority of the Section Bureau attend. Meetings are also held by video conference throughout the year. Members are expected to play an active role in the Section so should ensure they have the time and/or institutional support to do so. The official work of the ICA is carried out in French and English, and ICA-SUV has members around the world so the command of languages other than English is beneficial for candidates.
