Introduction
The European Christian Political Movement is a growing European Political Party that aims to spread Christian-democratic ideas throughout Europe and to mobilize parties, politicians and other organization around these values. The ECPM has been steadily growing since 2006. In order to make the ECPM board more capable of governing the growing party, the General Assembly decided in June 2011 to add two more members to the board.

Members and associates of the ECPM can propose a candidate for this position. In order to keep a geographical balance in the board, the General Assembly agreed with the line of the General Secretary  who stated that one board member should be from the Western European area and one board member should be from Central or Eastern Europe.

A commission  has been installed for the selection of candidates in  early  2012. This commission will propose candidates for the General Assembly in June 2012. The General Assembly will elect the proper candidates.

The required working hours for this are estimated around 8 hours per week.

• The candidate should be supported by at least one ECPM member/associate
