IUSSP 2021 Elections

Elections for IUSSP Officers and Council members for 2022-2025 will take place from 15 September to 27 October 2021. Following the procedure outlined in the IUSSP Constitution (article 10), the Committee on Nominations will prepare a first list of candidates. This list will include at least two candidates for each position open for election and at least 8 candidates for the Council members elected at large. The list of nominees for Council can include no more than four nominees standing for re-election.
 
The Committee on Nominations will consult with the Officers of the Union and can be contacted by members. Members are therefore invited to send nominations directly to members of the Committee on Nominations: Anastasia Gage, Chair, Alex Ezeh, Terrence Hull, Nico Keilman, Susheela Singh, and Laurent Toulemon.

We are deeply saddened by the loss of Brigida Garcia, a member of the Committee on Nominations. As the constitution requires that members of the Committee on Nominations be elected by the membership, Professor Garcia’s position on the Committee of Nominations for the 2021 elections cannot be replaced. Instead, the Committee  on Nominations is proposing to consult with Dr. Fatima Juarez, a former IUSSP Council Member for Latin America, on nominees from the region. Members are invited to also send nominations from Latin America directly to Dr. Fatima Juarez. Nominations must clearly indicate the office or Council seat:  Vice President, Secretary General and Treasurer, Council member for Africa, Council member for Asia and Oceania, Council member for Europe, Council member for Latin-America, Council member for North-America, and Council Member-at-large.
 
The Committee of Nominations will pool nominations received to prepare a first list of candidates for Officer and Council positions by January 31, 2021. The list of proposed candidates shall be sent to all members of the Union by means of a circular signed by the Chair of the Committee on Nominations. Once the Committee on Nominations’ list has been circulated, members of the Union shall be invited to submit additional nominations.
