THANK YOU FOR VOTING
The International Communication Association annual election has closed. The scope of the election included both association-wide votes (on both officers and bylaws changes) as well as votes specific to any divisions or interest groups.
CERTIFICATION OF RESULTS
ICA election results were certified by the Tellers Committee comprised of the Executive Director, the President and the Nominating Committee Chair. The committee reviewed both the list below, prepared by ICA’s Senior Manager of Governance, and checked it against the actual submission system’s tallies to ensure accuracy.
TERMS
Unless otherwise indicated, the officers elected in the Fall of 2019 serve a two-year term beginning Monday, 25 May 2020 (the last day of the 70th Annual ICA Conference in Gold Coast, Australia) and ending with the conclusion of the 2022 conference in Paris, France. Vice Chairs elected continue to serve two additional yeas as Chair (2022-2024).
*ICA wide positions of Board Member at Large and Treasurer each serve a three year term.
**A special note regarding the Secretary Election: ICA bylaws (Articles VI and VII, Section 3) mandate: "Each [Division/Interest Group] shall have a Chairperson, a Vice-Chairperson, a Secretary and a Student and Early Career Representative, who must be a student at the time he/she comes into office...The Vice-Chairperson and the Secretary shall be elected in alternate years, each for a term of two years." Some Division/Interest Groups had both positions slated for election in the same year. In effort to correct the election schedule, the secretary elected in the Fall of 2019 will serve a special three-year term, they are indicated with a double asterisks.
A special note regarding International Liaison Terms: Because this is the first year in which the International Liaison is an elected position, division and interest group chairs have the option to have this position take office immediately upon election. Please check wiith your chair to confirm the start date of the International Liaison term for your div/ig.
