Chair Elections

 

The Auto Components Working Group Chair and Vice Chairs play a crucial role in driving the Working Group. The responsibilities of 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 a senior industry representative with relevant industry expertise and government contacts who has the time and willingness to support the group. Previous participation in the Working Group is essential.

 

According to European Chamber internal best practices intended to promote new strategies and approaches for the operation of the working groups, 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. However, there is no maximum term duration for Working Group Chair and Vice Chair positions.

 

Should you be interested in putting yourself forward for candidacy for election, please firstly read the attached document which outlines the roles and responsibilities of a Working Group Chairperson.

 

To apply, each prospective candidate should submit a short bio and a motivation letter prior to the election to the Business Manager of the Auto Components Working Group by Wednesday, 12th March at autocomponents@europeanchamber.com.cn. In the email, please clearly state whether you intend to run for the position of Chair or Vice Chair. Candidates running for the role of Chair, if not successfully elected, can opt to be included as a candidate for Vice Chair. For the Auto Components Working Group, it is possible to have at most one Chair and two Vice Chairs.

 

In accordance with European Chamber internal guidelines, the Business Manager will send another email to the Working Group one week prior to the election with the bios and motivation letters of all candidates attached. Voting for the election must be conducted in person at the Working Group meeting (one vote per company) after each candidate has been given an opportunity to give a short speech on why they would like to run for election. The duration of the term for both Chairs and Vice Chairs is one year. All elected Chairpersons must sign the attached Code of Conduct following election.
