WASHINGTON, USA – The United States has officially launched campaigns to re-elect Doreen Bogdan-Martin as ITU secretary-general, elect Jennifer Warren to the ITU Radio Regulations Board (RRB), and re-elect the United States to the ITU Council.
The campaign launch took place during the Inter-American Telecommunication Commission (CITEL) Assembly in San José, Costa Rica, March 16-19, 2025. These elections will take place during the ITU Plenipotentiary Conference in Doha, Qatar, in November 2026.
Strong US leadership at the ITU helps foster innovation and economic growth through resilient and secure connectivity. The ITU helps set the international frameworks for spectrum and satellite communications that power communications networks and the modern economy. As the world’s leader in telecommunication and information and communication technology, the United States proudly promotes exceptional leadership at the ITU.
In her first term as scretary-general of the ITU, Bogdan-Martin has delivered principled, results-driven leadership grounded in transparency, accountability, and technical excellence. As the US candidate for RRB, Warren offers more than three decades of experience in spectrum, space, satellite, and radiocommunications policy across government, industry, and academia. For re-election to the ITU Council, the United States will continue contributing to the organization’s governance and oversight as the ITU’s founding member and the organization’s largest financial contributor.
At a moment when technology is reshaping economies worldwide, US leadership at the ITU is critical. Voting for the United States is a vote for an ITU that remains focused on solutions that drive innovation and prosperity.
