2025 Elections Protocol

A new Bureau is elected every three years on the occasion of the ICOM triennial conference. An election task force is appointed in the year preceding the ICOM triennial conference.

The Elections 2025 team consists of :

• Asmah Alias, CECA Board member, Asia coordinator, elections officer, who will not be standing in the next elections.
• Anne Marie Emond, CECA Secretary and Treasurer.
• Sylvie Savare , CECA’s social media coordinator.

All the work of the Elections team is supervised by three CECA members, who are not members of the Board of Directors and are not standing for election as directors. At least one of these members must be new to the role. In 2025, this monitoring is accepted by Ani Avagyan, Mila Chiovatto, Haryany Mohamad

The Head of Elections appoints this team.
She is responsible for including these members in communication about the elections. These are neutral members of the CECA who have no direct link with the candidates. They are included in the Elections team’s communication monitoring from the start of the electoral process. They also send their comments whenever they consider it appropriate… They will write a short final report to accompany the election report.

In view of its many activities, the CECA 2025-2028 Bureau will comprise around fifteen members:
a President and around fourteen other members, from whom the Board will select Vice president, Secretary, Treasurer, Regional Coordinators, the Coordinators of the Website, the Social Networks , the Newsletter and translations, the Research, the Best Practice activities, the Publications, the Special Interest Groups and any other necessary functions.
<Roles and tasks of Board members>
<Final process for allocating functions>

For certain tasks requiring particular skills and/or continuity, the Board may add members known as “advisors”.
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 CECA members to be appointed as advisers after the installation of the new Bureau at the CECA General Conference.
