Dear members of the ACP,

We seek nominations for candidates for election to the Executive Committee (EC) of the ACP. A candidate must be an ACP member and be nominated by a member of the ACP. Nominated persons must agree to be a candidate and must write an election statement that will be posted on the ACP election site. We strive for a diverse and balanced committee and therefore encourage members of all geographic areas, ethnicity, gender, level of expertise, and backgrounds to apply.

Please send your nominations and election statements to the Secretary of the ACP (secretary@a4cp.org ) by July 6,2022.

The Executive Committee of the ACP decides the venue of the annual CP international conference, as well as its programme and conference chairs. It also organises and supports other activities such as the CP doctoral programme, the ACP summer school, the ACP newsletter, web site, etc. Finally, it retains the surplus from CP conferences and re-invests it in other activities of the CP research community.

Bylaw 5 of the ACP Bylaws (see www.a4cp.org ) states the election procedure and rules. The term of EC members is 4 years, and three current EC members will end their term by the end of 2022: Sophie Demassey, Emmanuel Hebrard, and Michele Lombardi. Therefore, three new members will be elected to a four-year term. Elections will take place electronically in from July 15 to August 15, 2022 (inclusive). All members of the ACP are eligible to vote. The results will be communicated to the ACP members upon the completion of voting. The Election Committee consists of Tias Guns, David Bergman, and Chris Beck (Chair).
