Habitat International Coalition is pleased to launch the HIC President election process.
As global representative for HIC, the President plays a very important role within HIC; hence the importance of this election process. The first mandate of the current HIC President, Adriana Allen, will expire in December 2023. The next four-year term will run from January 2024 to December 2028.
The HIC General Secretariat calls on all HIC Members to actively participate in this electoral process, including debate and exchange on suitable candidates, issuing nominations, or standing as a volunteer for the Electoral Committee.
