All candidates must also fill out the Conflict of Interest declaration form and attach it to the application.
Candidates will be able to save their progress and revisit each form as they complete it. Applicants with questions about the forms or the process may contact congress@iba.sport.
Candidates should only consider their applications to have been received upon receipt of an email from IBA headquarters, within 48 hours of submission, indicating their applications are being processed.
Candidates are reminded that they will also be subject to the IBA Regulations on Elections.
Candidates unable to complete the online forms may request PDF copies of the forms, which can be completed offline, by contacting congress@iba.sport.
