2022 WFN Elections

In March of this year, the Nominating Committee of the WFN has invited nominations for the positions of Secretary General and one elected trustee.

The candidates standing for election were: 

• Secretary General
  
  

  Prof. Marianne de Visser

  Dr Minerva López Ruiz

As in previous 2 elections—2020 and 2021—voting took place through remote online ballot. This method of voting enables all member societies to vote in the elections, regardless of whether or not they are able to attend the Council of Delegates meeting, but also reduces the impact that adverse conditions, such as differences in time zone or difficulties caused by Covid restricted travel, may have to sound decision-making when voting.

Voting was carried out in advance of the WFN Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Council of Delegates (CoD) and the election results announced at the CoD meeting.
