SBL Committees
Distinguished biblical scholars lead the Society. Fourteen members are elected to serve on its governing board, the Council, which determines general policies and program initiatives and appoints committees, editors, and representatives to assist in fulfilling the mission and in conducting regular business. Election to Council and appointment to a committee is an honor, and the dedicated service of volunteers contributes to the success of the Society.

To nominate a member for service, contact the Chair of the Nominating Committee, Bruce Birch. Nominations are accepted throughout the year and should include the name of the nominee and the committee, contact information, and qualifications.
