2025 Executive Committee (EC) Election

It is time to start preparing the materials for the 2025 JCP EC Election.

The JCP accepts nominations for 5 Ratified, 2 Elected, and 1 Associate Seats from 16 September through 29 September. The ballot will be open from 4 November until 17 November. The results will be available on jcp.org on 18 November.

The following information is required for self-nomination.

1) Contact Information / Biography

Each EC seat is represented by two people - a primary and alternate representatives. Provide the following information for each representative:

  • Name
  • Title
  • Email Address
  • Mailing Address
  • Phone Number
  • A brief biography (3-5 sentences / ~100-200 words) for Primary Contact; a long biography may get truncated on the ballot but will be posted in its entirety on our nominations page.

2) Qualification Statement

A brief (2-3 paragraph) description of your qualifications for an EC seat; a long description may get truncated on the ballot but will be posted in its entirety on our nominations page. This is a Qualification Statement for the organization you represent. It should include the value and perspective you bring to the EC, your interests in the JCP Program, as well as a summary of your current participation or planned participation in the JCP Program (your entire organization) -- JSRs, Java in Education, Java Ecosystem, and Java and AI initiatives, meetings/events attended, etc. This statement will appear on the ballot and will convince community members that they should vote for you, so please include relevant information about your experience within the JCP Program and your investments in Java technology.

3) Position Paper

One of the pieces of information we make available to the JCP membership for voting purposes is a position paper. If you would like to provide this type of information for the ballot, please prepare in a PDF format for posting. This would be more detail on areas that you would put focus into during your tenure on the JCP EC.

Sample qualification statements and position papers are available on the 2024 Executive Committee Elections Nominees page.


If you have an interest in participating in the JCP EC, please start preparing these materials now. If you have any questions, please send us an email at pmo@jcp.org.
