The posts

Four pillars,
four people to elect.

The vice-president brings the pillar’s theme coordinators together every quarter, keeps its action plan and calendar, follows its advocacy and projects, and reports to the board and the assembly. A voluntary role, open in Chad and in the diaspora; applications from women are particularly welcome.

The online form and the mission sheets are in French. To apply in English, write to us with the pillar you are standing for and a short statement.

Rules

How the
vote works.

The seven rules adopted by the executive board on 1 October 2026.

PointRuleGood to know
Who may standAny member of the association, or anyone who has filed a declaration of membership, in Chad or in the diaspora. A person stands for one vice-presidency only.The 1995 statutes are not published; if they set another condition, it would apply.
Holding two rolesA person coordinates one theme only (decision 6). An elected person who already coordinates a theme keeps it until the board has reviewed overlapping roles with them.
Who votesThe college of officers: members of the executive board, the pillar vice-presidents in office and the lead coordinators of the themes and units — twenty-two distinct people on 1 October 2026. The next general assembly confirms those elected.Why not all members: the membership list and the dues scale have not yet been adopted (decision 2026-16).
QuorumAt least half of the college, present or remote. Without a quorum, a second meeting is held seven days later with no quorum required.
VotingIn a meeting, in person and remotely (video call), by show of hands; by secret ballot if a member of the college asks. A remote secret vote is cast by individual message to the two tellers, who report only the count.Tellers are not candidates; the secretary-general keeps the minutes and the attendance list.
MajorityAbsolute majority of votes cast in the first round; relative majority in the second. Single candidate: vote for or against, absolute majority. With no candidate, the call reopens for fourteen days.
Term of officeUntil the next ordinary general assembly, which confirms the person elected or holds a new election.The final length of the term depends on the statutes and the assembly.
