Please use this form to put your name forward for election to serve on the International Society for Biocuration Executive Committee (ISB EC) - Deadline 3rd September 10pm PDT. The Executive Committee is composed of 11 members, each with a 3-year term. All EC members need to have a willingness to commit a proportion of time to ISB activities. Minimally, this involves attending monthly teleconference meetings (1 hour in length) and following up on any action points from meetings, as well as promoting the ISB's activity to members and non-members. Examples of activities performed by EC members include reviewing micro-grant and fellowship submissions, preparing calls for hosting Biocuration meetings, preparing materials for ISB election, monitoring ISB mail and website. There are specific positions such as Chair, Secretary and Treasurer that will require a larger time commitment.

Time commitment: Each member of the EC is expected to attend the monthly EC meetings and 1 or more sub-committee meetings. Typically EC members spend at least 2-3 hours per month on EC work.

The election of 3 members of the ISB EC will be held from September 25 - October 02, 2024.

Being a member of the Executive Committee is a great way to become directly involved with the work of our society, and contribute to the decisions that are taken on behalf of the biocuration community. We would like to encourage all members of the biocuration community to consider running for election.
