Elections for 2008-2009 Term
Every two years, IUPAC proceeds with the election of its officers and
committee members. About 120 individuals are to be elected or reelected
either as Titular Members, Associate Members, or National Representatives.
Information concerning the voting process and the role of each kind
of member is contained in the Union bylaws.
Any qualified individual who is interested in being nominated is invited
to contact his/her National Adhering
Organization (NAO) and/or the current
committee officers. The next election will cover a two- or four-year
term that will start in 2008. The following Division Committees and
Standing Committees will all have vacancies: Physical and Biophysical
Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry,
Polymer, Analytical Chemistry, Chemistry and the Environment, Chemistry
and Human Health, Chemical Nomenclature and Structure Representation,
CHEMRAWN, Chemistry and Industry, Chemistry Education, Interdivisional
Committee on Terminology, Nomenclature and Symbols, and Committee on
Printed and Electronic Publications.
As part of the nomination procedure, NAOs are invited to submit curriculum
vitae for each nominee to the IUPAC Secretariat no later than 1 December
2006. Elections for each Division Committee will then take place
during the first half of 2007. The 2008-2009 memberships for all committees
will be finalized during the next General Assembly in August 2007.
Individuals interested in becoming officers or elected members on the
IUPAC Bureau should contact his/her NAO. Nominations for officers or
elected members have a different timeline and can only be made by an
NAO. Elections will take place at the Council Meeting during the next
General Assembly.
