The World Council Elections Committee is seeking nominations for President of the World Council for Gifted and Talented Children.

The President must have been a member of the World Council for a minimum of five years; served as a Delegate to the World Council prior to being nominated; be a current or former member of the Executive Committee; and be a member of the World Council in good standing. Nominations must be received by January 15, 2013. The Elections Committee will review the nominations and present a slate of eligible candidates for a vote by the World Council Delegates no later than February 15, 2013. The new President will be elected by March 1, 2013 and take office at the end of the next biennial world conference in August 2013. Nomination forms can be found on the WCGTC website under “About Us/Executive Committee” and should be sent to: Tracy Harkins, WCGTC Executive Administrator at: headquarters@world-gifted.org (Please note: An election for four vacancies to the Executive Committee will be announced following the President election with nominations due by April 8, 2013.)
