The Nominating Committees task plan

The Nominating Committee will perform their task in accordance with the constitution with the following timeline:

After the biannual congress where the directors in charge were elected, the new Nominating Committee will first identify the directors that will resign at the coming congress.

Identify a Vice President/President Elect

At the biannual congress the president will always be succeeded by the Vice President/President Elect. Therefore, it will always be necessary to identify a new Vice President/President Elect for the upcoming period in advance of the coming congress.

Treasurer and secretary

The treasurer and secretary are elected for four-year periods. Thereafter, they can be re-elected for maximum two more years. Prior to the biannual congress where their four-year candidacy runs out, they should be approached and asked if they are willing to be re-elected. When the Nominating Committee has identified the directors that need to be replaced, the committee should start the work to identify eligible candidates. The candidates should:

  • before accepting the candidacy, read the constitution of the Academy
  • be active members of the Academy,
  • working within the field of DMFR,
  • provide a CV supporting their eligibility,
  • have good communication and teamwork skills,
  • be aware of the tasks that they are committing themselves to and
  • be able to assign the time and efforts necessary to perform the tasks – sometimes with short notice and with high work load, e.g. prior to the biannual congresses.

The Nominating Committee must

  • actively act to identify candidates during their election period
  • provide the candidate thorough information about the role and tasks of the position in question
  • assess the candidates eligibility and suitability for the position
  • The Nominating Committee should identify the candidates both by active research, contacting eligible members, but also from nominations provided by members of the Academy. A nomination must be provided in writing by at least one member of the Academy. The recommendation should include the CV of the suggested member.
  • The deadline for nominations should be set well in advance of the congress where the appointment will be made (normally 6–9 months before the biannual congress). The deadline for the 2024 ECDMFR is October 30, 2023. Please submit nominations to the chair-person of the Nominating Committee.
  • The Nominating Committee will recommend (nominate) the candidate that is assessed to be the most suitable for the position in question. The recommendation will be submitted to the Executive Committee at least two weeks before the meeting of the Central Board (Central council, CC) that takes place during the biannual congress.
  • During the Central Board meeting, the presented candidate will be appointed, according to the constitution. Finally, the General Meeting will endorse the election made by the Central Board (Central Council, CC).
