Society for Conservation Biology

Your voice matters! We are excited to work together to ensure that all members’ voices are represented in a governance structure that aligns informal and formal power, addresses historic power inequities, and operationalizes equity, inclusion and diversity within the global network.

Special Members Meeting: Bylaw Changes

Join us for a special members meeting on 9 March 2023 at 5pm EST where members will have the opportunity to approve proposed revisions to our bylaws. The proposed amendments are in alignment with our restructured business model and enable the necessary governance structures as we move toward Vision 2026. SCB wants to receive your feedback, questions and comments on the proposed changes. Check your email for the link, or send an email to membership@conbio.org to request it.

Town Hall Meetings

We held a series of town hall style meetings with SCB groups in August and September 2021 on the draft business model and governance structure and presented the board-approved model at the SCB members meeting in December at ICCB 2021 (watch the presentation, which starts at the 12:15-minute mark). SCB and its Sections will provide updates and engagement opportunities at in-person and virtual members meetings in 2022.
