The ISCA Board has 15 members. Members are elected to the Board for a period of four years, and no member may serve on the Board for more than two consecutive terms.  The ISCA statutes specify a maximum of three Board members from any one country.

In accordance with the ISCA by-laws, elections to the Board will take place in April every odd year. Candidates are nominated from the ISCA members. Each nomination requires the support of three members of the Association and consent from the candidate (e.g., by email).

All candidates should be aware of these duties and commit themselves to fulfilling them before agreeing to be nominated.
