Shape the ICMA's future
Call for Nominations: Board of Directors, Associates, and Nominating Committee
The International Center of Medieval Art (ICMA) is seeking candidates for election to the ICMA's leadership positions.
We seek nominees (and self-nominees) for the following posts:
- Board of Directors (3-year term, 2025-28)
- Associates (3-year term, 2025-28)
- Nominating Committee (1-year term, 2025)
Our goal is to foster the continued vitality of the ICMA by including among its leaders colleagues at every career stage, with a broad range of research specialties, and from diverse professional and geographic origins. In addition to traditional research strengths, we also seek nominees who query the “edges” of our discipline and the boundaries around research topics, who engage in the theorization of our methods and objects of study, and who might help us build a broad and inclusive membership in the future.
To achieve that diversity through a robust pool of candidates, we need your help.
Please share your ideas for candidates by Monday 18 November 2024. Please take a moment to consider adding your own name: self-nominations are welcome.
For the sake of convenience, we have created two online forms:
Nominate a colleague HERE: you will be asked to provide your name and email in the first stage; for the second stage, you will be asked to provide nominees’ name, email, post (can be multiple), and information to share with the Nominating Committee. The Nominating Committee will follow up with the nominee.
Self-nominate HERE: you will be asked to provide your name, email, and country along with a brief statement on why you would like to be a candidate. A CV and short biography is required to upload.
