Term of appointment
The term of appointment begins following the Annual Meeting. For example, the 2008 term started after the 6th ISSCR Annual Meeting in June 2008 and runs through the 7th ISSCR Annual Meeting in July 2009.  Each member of the Board of Directors serves three years after which they may be nominated for reelection.

Election of Vice President
The elected candidate will serve as vice president for one year, then will go on to become the president-elect the following year and, in the third year, be president of the ISSCR. The candidate will serve an additional year as past president. For example, the candidate elected in 2009 as vice president will take on the presidency following the 9th Annual Meeting in 2011 and hold this position until the end of the 10th Annual Meeting in 2012.

Election of Board of Directors
Each board member is elected for a three-year term after which they may be nominated for a second term.
