Get to know the candidates for WFN office in their own words.
Seven candidates have been recommended by WFN’s Nomination Committee for the upcoming election of president, first vice president, and elected trustee to take place by electronic voting in September.
Below are the statements for the nominees for president, first vice president, and trustee recommended by the Nomination Committee.
A note from WFN President Prof. Wolfgang Grisold
The results of elections for three elected positions — the WFN president, first vice president, and one elected trustee — will be announced at the Council of Delegates Meeting in Seoul, South Korea. The voting process will be conducted electronically in September, and all WFN member societies in good standing will be able to vote. The COD meeting will take place Oct. 12, 2025.
According to the WFN guidelines, further nominations can be submitted by any individual from a member society. The nominee must be supported by at least five member societies and submitted 30 days prior to the start of electronic voting.
In addition to the candidate statements below, videos of each candidate will be posted on the WFN website prior to the election.
Additional voting details will follow on the website and in an individual mailing.
As the president, I have been acting as a guest editor for this announcement and the candidate statements to avoid any possible conflicts of interest.
