Dear individual and institutional ICME members!

It has been three years since the last election of the new ICME Board in 2019 in Kyoto happened. It’s time to vote for a new ICME BOARD! We introduced the candidates on the ICME website: https://icme.mini.icom.museum/icme-board-elections-2022-2/

According to the ICME Statute, you can elect a president and 8 board members, for a total of 9 members.

We are sending you a link to the Xoyondo anonymous voting platform, specifically for the president and specifically for the 8 board members.

• Each ICME member has the right and opportunity to vote for the President and 8 members of the ICME Board.
• Museums – institutional members also have the right and possibility to vote. Depending on size, they have 3 or more votes. Since Xoyondo only offers voting by first and last name, which is anonymous, we ask all museums that intend to vote – to send the ICME secretary Rema Zeynalova the Name and Surname of the representatives of the institution and the name of the museum and the country it is from.

All ICME members who have paid membership fees to ICOM in 2022 can vote. For the first time in ICME history, we will hold the most democratic election of the new ICME Board ever. Regardless of the distance, you have the opportunity to vote for the members of the new ICME Board!

Elections start on November 10 and last until November 20, 2022.

The results will be announced on November 23, 2022, at the ICME annual meeting, after the online conference “The Power of Museums – to be continued”!
