Watch the Members Meeting Online
For the first time, the SCB members meeting (and parts of ICCB) will be streamed live online. A link to the live video feed will be available on the ICCB home page by Sunday 23 July. Other live-streamed events include ICCB Plenary Talks, Evening Forums and select (limited) sessions. All live-streamed events are hosted in the same room so content is accessible via the same link.
The 2017 meeting will be organized in two parts. The first session will be dedicated to the business of SCB and include time for a Q&A and discussion. The second session features the ICCB Student Awards Presentation as we honor the winners of the 2017 ICCB Student Awards Competition.
Vote to Amend SCB's Bylaws
The 2017 Members Meeting will include a voting item on proposed changes to SCB's bylaws. Among the proposed changes is the addition of an Equity, Inclusion and Diversity Officer to the SCB Board of Governors.
You may review the proposed changes here (proposed changes are tracked). If you have any comments, email SCB Board Secretary Marit Wilkerson by Wednesday, 26 July. Please use the subject line Comments on SCB Bylaws.
