In order to be able to send out the list of candidates well in time, in case you plan to candidate, please do so before September 22, 2021.

For your information, following our election by-law, the position of the President-Elect (currently held by Georgios Kouroupetroglou (GR) will be proposed by the board to support continuity and sustainable development of the association.

Any AAATE member can candidate to the above positions. We encourage all members to consider running for a board position. It is an important way to support our Association and contribute to the advancement of Assistive Technology.
