Nominees for board elections

World Physiotherapy holds elections for board members as required in accordance with the constitution. To stagger the time of elections, the member organisations agreed at the general meeting in May 2019 to the terms of three board members being two years, that is, from 2019-2021. As a result, World Physiotherapy member organisations will now elect three board members from the following regions:

• Europe
• North America Caribbean
• South America

The new board members will begin their terms on 1 July 2021 and each will serve a 4-year term from 2021-2025.

The candidates for election as regional board members are listed below.

World Physiotherapy member organisations in the relevant region are eligible to vote.
