All Council members of the Executive Council of the IASC are elected by the membership. The Executive Council of the Association consists of the President, the President-Elect, the immediate Past-President, and six Councilors, in accordance with the bylaws of the IASC.
The President-Elect, the President, and the Past-President all serve two years, starting on January 15 following the year of the general elections. After each cycle of two years, a new President-Elect will be elected, as the acting President-Elect will take over the position of the President, the leaving President then becoming the Past-President.
Councilors serve a term of maximum six consecutive years; those elected to Councilor positions that opened up during those six years will serve until the completion of the original term of six years for that position.
For the current members of the Council, please visit the Council webpage.
Candidates will be nominated by the IASC Council Nominating Committee, consisting of two Councilors and two persons appointed by the President after consultation with Council and the Executive Director. Nominations can also be submitted by a group of IASC-members representing at least one percent of the membership.
Next, the profiles of all candidates will be presented via dedicated webpages to all IASC-members. Voting will be done anonymously and electronically.
