ICLEI Global Executive Committee Portfolio elections 2021-2024

The Global Executive Committee is the representation of ICLEI Members at the global level, both generally and before global and international institutions.

The Global Executive Committee is the only body other than the Council that has the power to decide policy for the entire Association.

It has the sole power to adopt and amend the ICLEI By-Laws, the power to call meetings of the Council, the power to appoint the Secretary General and to approve the establishment of an ICLEI office. More information available in the ICLEI Charter.

The term of the Global Executive Committee is for three years.

The Global Executive Committee is made up of Regional seats, nominated from the Regional Executive Committees, to represent each ICLEI Region and Portfolio seats, elected from the ICLEI Membership by the ICLEI Council.

Candidates are preferably elected or appointed officials from a full ICLEI Member with know-how in one of the proposed thematic portfolios and motivation to actively participate in shaping ICLEI strategy.

All candidates must uphold ICLEI’s mission; attend Global Executive Committee meetings and ICLEI Council meetings (the next of which will take place at the ICLEI World Congress in Malmö, Sweden, in April, 2021); and fulfill the roles and responsibilities of the Global Executive Committee.

To apply, please download the form, complete it and return it by 15 November, 2020.

The proposal of candidates standing for election to the GexCom Portfolio Seats shall be disclosed to the ICLEI Council members for a period of four weeks, during which ICLEI Council members review the proposed candidates and vote.

Following the closing of the elections, results are submitted to the ICLEI President for verification and officially announced thereafter.

The complete ICLEI GexCom will be presented along with the ICLEI Council (members of all nine ICLEI RexCom) at the ICLEI World Congress 2021 in Malmö, Sweden (13-17 April, 2021).
