Nominations Committee (EB-NC)

The IFCC Nominations Committee is announcing the schedule for the election of the IFCC Executive Board (EB). All Executive Board Members’ term of office is from January 1st, 2027 till December 31st, 2029, with the exception of the President who begins as President-elect on January 1st, 2026, to be confirmed as President for the term January 1st, 2027 till December 31st, 2029. IFCC Full Member Societies can consider appropriate candidates for the various positions on the EB.

We take the opportunity to remind you that the election of the Corporate Representative is conducted by Corporate Members’ Representatives only. A separate communication will be made to Corporate Members’ Representatives.

The election to the IFCC EB is a major step for the operational and strategic management of the Federation based on global partnership to strengthen the IFCC community. The EB members should develop a common vision based on a federal approach, which respects the diversity of cultures.

We invite you to propose candidates with a strong work ethic and vision who will commit to the Federation to assure a sustainable IFCC future, in a changing healthcare environment.

The election schedule is as follows:

Please contact the respective IFCC Full Member societies for further details ____________________________________________________________________

The Executive Board creates an ad hoc Nominations Committee (NC) and appoints the Chair. This occurs every third year with the Committee being appointed two years prior to the next Council meeting. It is the responsibility of the NC to invite, receive and process nominations for the next Executive Board. To do so, the NC solicits suggestions for candidates for each position on the Executive Board (except the Past-President and Corporate Representative), from Full Members of the IFCC and from key individuals within the management structure of the IFCC.

The NC then recommends a slate of candidates consisting of one or more persons for each vacancy. Also, the candidates must be nominated by the Association of the country where the candidate works, and not by another Association of which they are a member.

The Nominations Committee will conduct this activity independent of the current Executive Board (whose members may be seeking re-election). Also, it will establish an appropriate deadline by which all nominations must be received. The NC does not function as a "Search Committee" and has no long-term role in "human resource development" or "succession planning".

The election for the new EB will be conducted by electronic ballot and the result will be announced at the meeting of Council prior to each IFCC WorldLab meeting.
