On 8th July 2025, a meeting of the Bangladesh Midwifery Society (BMS) Election Commission was held at the BMS office in Uttara, Dhaka, from 10:30 am to 1:00 pm. The agenda focused on finalizing the competency matrix and nomination form for the upcoming NEC election in September 2025. The meeting was attended by NEC representatives — President Asma Khatun, General Secretary Sangita Saha Prema, and Treasurer Tania Akter — as well as the Election Commission members: Chief Commissioner Samia Afrin and Deputies Gitashree Ghosh, Jamaluddin Badshah, and Ashraful Alam Razu. BMS staff, including Dr. Shawkat Ara, Technical Advisor, Md. Nazmul Huda Sarker, Resource Mobilization Officer, Sharmin Shobnom Joya, Project Manager, and Ershadul Haque, Finance Manager, also participated. The Project Manager shared updates regarding constitutional changes supported by ICM, highlighting that the newly developed competency matrix defines the expected qualifications and skills for each NEC role and will guide both candidates and the assessment committee. It was confirmed that the Organizing Secretary and Joint Secretary roles have been removed, and the revised NEC will now consist of 11 members. Leadership positions such as President, Vice President, and General Secretary will require candidates to hold a Post Basic BSc (Honors) degree in midwifery due to their critical roles in representing BMS at national and international levels. It was agreed that all candidates would undergo shortlisting and interviews conducted by an assessment committee.
