EGPRN chairperson elections

During our next meeting in Halle in October 2021, we will have the election for chairperson of EGPRN. The term of office for chair is three years. A chairperson can have maximum two terms of Office.

At this stage, the Honorary Secretary and Executive Board are officially inviting all EGPRN members to nominate candidates.

All paying members are eligible for the office. Self-nominations are not allowed, and all nominations must be seconded by another EGPRN member (not the candidate).

The election will take place during the meeting of the Council next 14 October 2021 in Halle-Germany. Only the members of the Council and Executive Board members have the right to vote.

That candidate receiving the largest number of votes shall be the next EGPRN Chairperson. Or, if another person than the current chair is elected, Chairperson-Elect until the next meeting of the Council which will be in Istanbul (Turkey) in May 2022. In that case, the Chairperson Elect co-operates until the Istanbul meeting with the present Chairperson (under the latter's leadership) to ease and guarantee the process of continuity.

Therefore, we give the paying members the opportunity to nominate candidates for the vacancy of chairperson of EGPRN. If you know capable EGPRN-members please complete the nomination form and return it to EGPRN Office office@egprn.org.
