Help Shape the Future of IFCM: Call for Elections of the IFCM President, Board and Internal Auditors

Jan 31 highlighted

Published: Jan 31,2026

Based on IFCM’s Bylaws and Internal Membership Policies Document, our membership will elect a new president and board of directors in 2026. The elections will be held ONLINE, starting mid-June and ending on 1 August 2026. Members of IFCM in good standing, having paid their 2026 membership fee by the end of April, will be able to elect the president and up to 15 board members as well as the internal financial auditors.

The current president cannot stand for elections again, and several board members have decided not to be candidates this year. If you want to help shape the future of IFCM, and you are an individual member or you are nominated by a member choir or a member organisation, you can be a candidate. The deadline for applications is 15 April 2026. For further information, calls and application forms, please check out the 2026 IFCM Elections and General Assembly.
