The Election of Candidates for Japan Geoscience Union (JpGU) Directors will be held following the procedures and schedule as outlined below.
All new JpGU representatives with terms of office from April 2022 to March 2024 have both the right to vote by mail and to run for election.
After this election, Nominating Committee for Executive Officers will deliberate on the best-qualified candidates for JpGU Directors, taking the results of vote and candidates’ specialties and affiliations into consideration. A list of the best-qualified candidates for new directors will be referred to the general meeting of JpGU representatives in May 2022, at which new directors will receive final approval.
The next JpGU President will then be elected from among the new directors. We sincerely hope that all new JpGU representatives will take an active role in this election.
