The International Federation for Choral Music (IFCM) held its General Assembly on 25 April 2023. Prior to the General Assembly, the Election of the new Board of Directors was fully organized online (1 March – 1 April 2023). We can proudly say that this event has a historical significance in our association since this was the first time ALL INDIVIDUALS had the opportunity to vote individually thanks to a change of in the Bylaws voted at the General Assembly in Lisbon in September 2022. Other changes include more votes for the following categories: choirs (2 votes), Local organizations (3 votes), national and regional organizations (10 votes), and international organizations (20 votes).
The Election of the new Board of Directors was organized through an online voting system. An Election Committee was appointed to overlook and ensure fair and democratic results. The results were announced during the General Assembly and, on April 28, the new Board named their Vice-Presidents, Treasurer, and Governance Advisor.
