EOC Approves New Election Procedure Aimed at Boosting Gender Representation 01/26/21
The election procedure for a more gender-balanced Executive Committee of the European Olympic Committees (EOC) has been approved by the body’s current members ahead of the 50th EOC General Assembly scheduled for 16 April in Athens.
Fully aligned with the International Olympic Committee’s Olympic Agenda 2020, the EOC is at the forefront of gender parity in sport.
Also thanks to the work of the EOC Legal Affairs Commission, the Executive Committee Nominations and Election Procedure was drawn up according to the basic principles of simplicity and democracy to ensure that a minimum of 5 of the elected 16 members of the Executive Committee be of each gender.
