Consistent with the World Physiotherapy constitution, an election for World Physiotherapy South America region executive committee will be held via electronic voting.
The casual vacancy has arisen because Maria del Rocio de la Rosa, member of Colegio Nacional de Fisioterapia/AMEFI National College of Physiotherapy and Physical Therapy, has assumed the role as chair and Maria Jose Paredes Garces, member of Sociedad Ecuatoriana de Fisioterapia/Ecuadorian Society of Physiotherapy, has become vice chair.
The following candidates have been nominated:
Executive committee member (one position)
- Paola Figueroa, member of Colegio de Kinesiólogos de Chile/College of Physiotherapists of Chile
- Gabriel Peña Zúniga, member of Comisión Profesional de Fisioterapia del Colegio de Terapeutas/ Physical Therapy Commission of the Therapist Guild of Costa Rica
Voting will begin on Sunday 10 August 2025 and close on Sunday 24 August 2025. The results will be announced via email to all member organisations within the relevant region within 10 days of the vote closing.
The new region executive committee members will begin their terms on 1 September 2025.
