The 2008 AIBS Public Policy Review Committee

The AIBS Public Policy Review Committee, whose membership includes representatives from AIBS societies and organizations that are funding the AIBS Public Policy Office (PPO) at the Participant level or above serves in an advisory capacity. The committee is asked to (1) provide the PPO with guidance in identifying experts to serve as witnesses in Congressional testimony, and as participants in Congressional briefings and similar activities; (2) assist the PPO in crafting public policy/position statements that reflect the concerns of the biological sciences community and current scientific knowledge; (3) serve as a communication conduit for public policy matters between AIBS and the society or organization that the member represents on the committee; and (4) work with the PPO in preparing periodic reports to the AIBS Board.
