2024 Election Results are In for New Positions Beginning in January 2025
Dear TAICEP community:
This election recorded more participation by membership than any previous year. The candidate pool represented the greatest degree of geographic diversity in our history, with nominees from 4 continents and 6 countries. We also experienced our first contested positions, making this a historic year for TAICEP and demonstrates the degree to which the organization has grown since its inception over a decade age. We will be making efforts to improve our election structure over the next few years to ensure a more seamless process in resolving contested elections as they are becoming more of a reality for the organization.
The Nominations and Elections committee has finalized tabulating the votes and the election is now closed. Please join me in congratulating those who have been declared the winners for each position and who will form a part of your leadership team for TAICEP during the upcoming year(s)!
