At the 21st COLOSS Conference, the General Assembly (GA) of COLOSS will elect a 15 person Executive Committee (EC) to run the network according to our statutes for three years. It must de juro be composed of individuals from at least two continents and at least five countries. We therefore encourage applications from all continents. EC members are expected to be fully committed to our mission and to share the duties of directing and operating the association. The EC meets online twice a month to discuss current affairs and EC members are expected to attend. Further details can be found in our statutes.
The newly elected EC will elect from within its ranks a President, two Vice Presidents and other positions (e.g. Secretary, Treasurer). These positions will also last three years, and re-elections at future annual meetings will be possible.
Who can vote?
Any member of COLOSS who is present during the 2025 GA meeting on the 22.09.2025 can vote via secret ballot.
Who can stand in the election?
Any member of COLOSS can stand for election to the EC, including those not present at the GA for legitimate reasons. Applications can only be accepted in English, and should reflect motivations matching the aims of the association.
