BGDO Board Renewal 2025 – 2028
According the bylaws of the BGDO, half of the board has to be renewed every 3 years. Six members of the board will resign this year, in order to make an overlap possible between the succeeding board for a three years mandate.
The board is responsible for overall policy and direction of the association. It has final and complete control over all decisions made by the association, including the areas of finance, legal matters, clinical trials, administration, personnel and others.

Only nominations coming from BGDO Members who have settled their 2024 membership fee will be considered.
The voting will take place online during the month of December. Further details on process will follow in due time .
The election of board members is however dependent on a system of guaranteed representation:
- Non-academic: at least 33 % in every linguistic region non-academic.
- Academic: at least 50 % in every linguistic region academic
- Linguistic: at least 1/3 French and 1/3 Flemish.
- No more than 2 members of same hospital or same university.
Elections are thus not needed due the allowed number of board members (12).
During the BGDO General Assembly on Saturday 11 January 2025, results of the elections will be announced and the newly elected Board members will be introduced to the Assembly.
