Call for Nominations - President, Vice President 
and Executive Committee Members 


Deadline: January 15, 2008  


The IUPsyS seeks nominations for the President, Vice-President and Executive Committee Members of the Union. Nominations are due January 15, 2007 and must be submitted to the Chair of the Elections Committee.

The IUPsyS Rules of Procedure prescribe the procedures to be followed for the Nomination and Election of the President, Vice-Presidents and other elected Executive Committee members. 

Article (2) of Section III stipulates that the Secretary-General shall request nominations for President, Vice-Presidents, and Executive Committee members from National Members holding voting rights in the Assembly.

Article (1) of Section III provides that the Election Committee is composed of the Past  President as Chair and two persons elected by the Assembly. The current Past President is Professor Michel Denis. The 2004 Assembly elected Professors Dianne Halpern and An-Magritt Aanonsen  as members of the Election Committee. No member of the Election Committee can be a candidate in the 2008 elections.

Any National Member may submit nominations for one position or for all positions, and may nominate more than one person for any particular position.

Nominations should  be sent on a Nominations Form (see www.iupsys.org/natmembers/2008ecnomins.html for instructions). Article (2) of Section III prescribes that each nomination must be accompanied by a one-page curriculum vitae of the person nominated and by a signed statement expressing the person's agreement to be nominated and to serve if elected. All inquiries about the nominations and elections cycle should be submitted to the Chair of the Election Committee. 

Nominations are to be submitted by post or fax or email to:

Chair, IUPsyS Election Committee
Professor Michel Denis
Groupe Cognition Humaine, LIMSI-CNRS
Université de Paris-Sud, BP 133
91403 Orsay Cedex , FRANCE
Fax: +33 (1) 6985 80 88
Email: denis@limsi.fr

The deadline for submitting nominations to the Chair of the Election Committee is January 15, 2008. However, earlier submission is appreciated.

First Report

There will be a first report to National Members that will be sent by the Chair of the Election Committee at least 5 months in advance of the 2008 General Assembly to be held at the 29th International Congress of Psychology. This report will be sent by email to the email address of record for each National Member (see www.iupsys.org/members.html  to verify contact information). If any National Member wishes the report to be sent to another contact, please inform Deputy Secretary-General Merry Bullock (mbullock@apa.org) of the contact information.
