Change to the election of the Chair of the Nominating Committee
The IUMI Nominating Committee is responsible for recommending suitable candidates to the IUMI Council for the positions of President, Vice-President and Executive Committee members. The committee comprises experienced individuals who are actively involved in IUMI and have a strong understanding of the organisation’s goals and objectives.
Committee members are elected by the Council for a two-year term and may be re-elected for an additional two years. Previously, the committee selected its own Chair. However, this sometimes resulted in very short chairmanships—occasionally as short as one year—which proved inefficient.
To address this, the IUMI Council has approved a change: the Chair of the Nominating Committee will now be proposed by the President and elected by the Council for a two-year term, with the possibility of re-election for a further two years. This approach ensures the Chair has enough time in office to work effectively.
