Executive Board Nomination Instructions
As per the Articles, IFSPT invites nominations for election to the Executive Board at the next General Meeting.
IFSPT Executive Board (EB) Members may serve a total of two 4-year terms on the EB.
According to the Articles of IFSPT, there will be an election of at least one EB member every two years. For the 2021 General Meeting, there will be an election of a maximum of four new EB Members.
We encourage all IFSPT Member Organisations to nominate a member of their Organisation for the 2021 IFSPT EB Elections to serve for the next 4 year term. It is possible for the EB Member to serve as the IFSPT delegate for the representative country or to serve in addition to the Member Organisation’s IFSPT delegate.
