Online session: Exploring Section and Working Group head roles
25 March @16h00 UTC - To help members learn more about the Section and Working Group head roles for the 2025 elections, a Zoom meeting is being organised to allow potential candidates to hear directly from current and past leaders about their experiences, with space for questions and answers. The initiative is designed to provide clarity and insight into these leadership roles, and is open to all IAMCR members, with a particular focus on those considering their first leadership position.
The zoom link will be sent to the IAMCR membership on 18 March.
