New year means new elections for our LYMEC IMS delegates.
Since the Spring Congress is already fast approaching, we hereby announce the yearly elections to be held on 3-6 February 2021 to elect the IMS delegates for 2021. We hereby open the call for candidacies for the positions.
Deadline for applications is Monday, 18 January 2021 at 14 h CET (Brussels time). To apply, please send the following materials to office(at)lymec.eu:
- A motivation letter
- Your CV
- A picture (minimum 300*300 pixels)

NB: The CV’s will be available on the LYMEC website for the duration of the elections, so please refrain from including personal data such as address, phone number etc.
All candidates will be presented on an election website that will open by 20 January 2021. The candidacies will also be presented in an email to all individual members, and an online debate between candidates will take place between January 21 and 29 (exact date will be defined after the deadline for candidacies).
The tasks and duties of the IMS delegates are to represent the Individual Members at the statutory meetings of LYMEC (Congresses), to coordinate the IMS input at these meetings: resolutions, motions and amendments, and to liaise with the Steering Committee.
