2022 Elections Protocol and Timetable

A new Board of Directors is elected every three years at the ICOM Triennial Conference.
In the year leading up to the ICOM Triennial Conference, an Elections Task Force team is appointed.

The Elections 2022 team consists of :

• Zeljka Jelavic, responsible for elections and member of the CECA Board, who will not stand for the next elections.
• Anne Marie Emond, CECA Secretary
• Nelly Abboud , CECA’s social media coordinator

This task force is assisted by some members for the electronic voting system.

All the work of the Elections Task Force team is overseen by three members of the CECA, who are NOT members of the Board of Directors and are not candidates for the new board. At least one of these members must be new to the role.

The Head Election will choose two members who will be observers.
She is responsible for the inclusion of these members in the communication about the elections. These are neutral members of the CECA who have no direct link with the candidates. They are added to the communication cc. of the elections working team, from the beginning of the electoral process.
They also send their comments whenever they consider it appropriate.
They will write a short report to accompany the election report.

The Bureau consists of thirteen members:
a president and twelve other members, from which the board selects the secretary, the treasurer, five regional coordinators, the website coordinator and any other necessary functions.
<Roles and tasks>  

For certain tasks that require particular expertise and/or continuity, and to cover the many tasks to be carried out in a large committee such as the CECA, the Board may add so-called co-opted members.
The number and functions of these members depend on the decision of the President, who takes the advice of the Bureau. The President presents his proposal for co-opted CECA members directly after the installation of the new Bureau at the CECA General Conference.
