Call for Nominations for Elections to ISB Executive Board 2026 – 2029

It is the duty of the Elections Committee to call for nominations for the next ISB Executive Board (2026 – 2029).  The current  International Society of Biometeorology Executive Board (2023 – 2026) will conclude its three years term at the 24th International Congress of Biometeorology in Novi Sad, Serbia on 13- 16 July 2026.

The Executive Board will consist of elected individuals being the President, President Elect, Secretary, Treasurer, two Vice-Presidents, and six regional Councilors, plus the immediate Past President and the IJB Editor-in-Chiefs.  The current President Elect (Tanja Cegnar) will be confirmed by voting to become President.  The current President (Scott Sheridan) will automatically become the Past President, and the current IJB Editor-in-Chiefs (Pablo Fernandez de Arroyabe, Angela Lees, and Alison Donnelly) will continue.

A full description of duties is outlined in the Biometeorology statues (Appendix A).  Members can nominate themselves or another member in good standing1 for the positions outlined below:
