AIBS Council News

"The AIBS Council shall review the actions of the AIBS Board of Directors, make recommendations for action and response, consider agenda items brought before it, initiate agenda items, and elect four of its members to the Board."
— AIBS Constitution, Article VII (extract)

AIBS can achieve success in its federation activities with its members only with the active participation and inclusion of the AIBS Council in AIBS affairs. It's a two-way street—please let us know what we could be doing better! Contact: rogr...@aibs.org

We encourage the participation of presidents and executive directors, as well as their designated representatives, in Council activities. For a directory of AIBS Council members and other membership information, see our Member Society and Organization Directory — corrections and updates are always appreciated.

2010 Council Meeting

The AIBS Board met on May 18th for their spring meeting and focused on strategic planning for the next 5 - 10 years. This meeting was followed by our Annual Council meeting on May 19th.

We met with members for morning discussions and broke out into groups to hear about how-- with respect to both content and process -- AIBS's short- and long-range programmatic plans could be shaped to increase the opportunities for our member societies and organizations to collaborate with AIBS on research, education, and public policy issues in the biological sciences to everyone's benefit.
