Call for Nominations for
Division Presidents-Elect

In 2026, members of IAAP who are in good standing with IAAP will be invited to elect new Division Presidents-Elect who will assume the presidency of each of IAAP Division at the end of the International Congress of Applied Psychology (ICAP) to be held in Zurich, Switzerland, in July 2030. 

The election will take place in April 2026 if the call for nominations for Division President-Elect yields one eligible nomination or more by March 15, 2026. 

The election will be conducted through online voting, using software designed to ensure accurate, secure, closed voting.

The IAAP member who is elected President-Elect of each Division will serve as Division President-Elect from the end of July 2026 until the end of the 2030 ICAP and then proceeds to serve as Division President for four years (2030-2034), and Division Past President for four years (2034-2038).
