The Sports Forum Chair and Vice-Chairs play crucial roles in driving forum activities. The Sports Forum can have, at most, one Chair and one Vice-Chairs. According to European Chamber guidelines, members must be present at the Forum to register a vote for the Chair elections. One company, one vote.
In this meeting, the 2024 Sports Forum Chair Election will take place. The responsibilities of the Chairpersons include taking a leading role in the drafting of the Position Paper, communicating key messages to the Chinese and European governments and steering Working Group meetings. The required characteristics of a Chair and Vice Chair are that they are a senior industry representative with relevant industry expertise and government contacts, with the time and willingness to support the group. Previous active participation in the Working Group is mandatory.
According to the European Chamber's internal best practices intended to promote new strategies and approaches for the operation of the group, the European Chamber recommends that a Chairperson should not exceed three years in his/her role and highly encourages all members interested in taking a leading role to put their name forward for election. Should you be interested in putting your name forward for the election or nominating any candidates, please first read the attached document which outlines the roles and responsibilities of a Chairperson and then please send a short biography and a motivation letter, stating whether you intend to run for Chair or Vice Chair and your plans to promote the Working Group to Ms. Tiantian Qi at tqi@europeanchamber.com.cn no later than 2 pm, 2nd April 2024. We have one chair position and one vice chair position for the Sports Forum Shanghai.
Following European Chamber internal guidelines, another email will be sent to the Working Group before the election, with the biographies and motivation letters of all candidates attached. Voting for the election, one vote per company must be conducted in person at the Working Group meeting after each candidate has had the opportunity to give a short speech on why they would like to run in the election. The duration of the term for both Chairs and Vice Chairs is one year. All elected Chairpersons must sign the attached Starter Kit, following election. To familiarise yourself with the Code of Conduct and responsibilities as chairs, please refer to the attached Starter Kit.
We encourage as many of our members as possible to attend the meeting to have their say in the leadership and representation of the Forum in the year ahead.
