Dear Member,
on the 5th of October at 9:30 CET we will digitally get together during our online General Assembly. This year's General Assembly is particularly important, as EUROPARC members will be able to elect the new EUROPARC President and Council members for the next 3 years.
|
|
|
|
|
As in other years, it will be possible to allow another EUROPARC member to vote on your behalf through a proxy vote. However, benefiting from the General Assembly being online and the ease of e-voting, we strongly encourage all our members to send a representative on the 5th of October.
Members will be able to vote for 6 candidates for council. The vote is
entirely that of the individual member for the candidates who they
believe will be able to take forward their aspirations and oversee the
work of the Federation.
Additionally, we want to remind you that you can still nominate further candidates.
Nominations shall be made in writing to the Directorate no later than 14 days
before the opening of the General Assembly. This means the last day
we can accept any new nominations is the 20th of September.
If you wish to make a new nomination please
carefully read the guidelines and regulations (all information is saved here;
password to access the files: memberseuroparc) Please use the Online Nomination

We now invite you to take some time to get the know the current candidates:
