General information for IFLA Members
IFLA Headquarters dispatched ballot papers and supporting documents for its Governing Board Elections 2019-2021 to all Voting Members on 22 February 2019. We are encouraged to see the number of viable candidates standing for elections increase with each election cycle and this year we have almost double that of the previous cycle.
As you know, IFLA is on a journey to extend its reach and impact, and for this it needs energetic, committed and highly-competent individuals to serve on its Governing Board. Their skills and experience should represent all library types, professional specialisations and global regions.
With a new IFLA Strategic Framework on the way, these elections are extremely important for the future governance of IFLA. Take advantage of your IFLA Membership and exercise your right to vote!
For IFLA Members to cast ballots, please complete and return the original ballot paper. For the ballot to be valid, it must be signed by the authorised representative of the IFLA Member organisation or association. Only those Members who have paid their membership fees in full and who are not in arrears, are eligible to vote in these elections.
