IPA Webinar: Meet the Candidates for Board Representatives for the European Region
Friday, 7th February 2025 - 4:00-5:30 PM UK Time

 
On the 14th of March 2025, all IPA Members in good standing will be invited to vote in the 2025 IPA Elections for Board Representatives. Voting will close on the 30th of April 2025, and the results will be communicated to all IPA Societies in May 2025. The formal announcement by the IPA President will occur at the Business Meeting during the 2025 IPA Congress in Lisbon, Portugal, where the elected Representatives will take their positions.
 
Prior to the distribution of the ballots, the IPA will host one webinar per region where election candidates will be able to share their motives for running with their regional membership, giving the members the opportunity to meet the candidates.
 
For the European Region, the webinar will take place on the 7th of February 2025 at 4:00-5:30 PM UK Time. Each candidate will give a 5-minute presentation on their ideas, followed by a Q&A session. Audience members are encouraged to submit their questions ahead of the event date to [email protected] and no later than the 9th of February 2025. Due to time constraints during the webinar, not all the questions will be be asked but a selection of them will be asked to ensure that all candidates have time to respond.
