FINAL REMINDER: WADA invites candidates to apply for 2022 Standing Committee member vacancies

DEADLINE: 1 OCTOBER 2021

Following our communications of 31 May 2021 and 12 August, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) wishes to remind the anti-doping community of the vacant seats on WADA’s 2022 Standing Committees. We invite interested candidates for the vacancies outlined below to apply by 1 October 2021.

The Standing Committees, which report to WADA’s Executive Committee (ExCo), play a key advisory role in policy and priority development for the Agency. The successful candidates will be approved by WADA’s ExCo on 24 November 2021 and take office on 1 January 2022 for three-year terms.

The vacancies are listed below with hyperlinks to the current Terms of Reference (TOR) of each Standing Committee.

Please note that, as it relates to the independent member vacancy on the Compliance Review Committee (CRC), there was an earlier application deadline of 3 September 2021 due to involvement of the Nominations Committee in the process.
