Public Initiative Events
SBL’s public initiatives program brings bible scholarship to new audiences as part of our mission to foster biblical scholarship. The goal of this broader engagement is to cultivate the profession and encourage critical readings and enjoyment of biblical literature among high school teachers, high school students, clergy and others. We also seek to connect the best in biblical scholarship with current events and social issues.

Regional Meetings
The Society has eleven regional groups. These groups are autonomous groups of SBL members who have come together to meet locally. Some groups are affiliated with other biblical and religious societies.

Any SBL member may attend any Regional Meeting but information is only sent automatically to members within the region.

SBL Regions

 
Two regions publish papers from their meetings: Proceedings: Eastern Great Lakes & Midwest Biblical Societies
Proposing a New Program Unit
The SBL Program Committee encourages members to propose new program units related to texts or areas of interest that are not represented on the Annual Meeting program. 
 
A check list of required items is available here. 
 
New unit proposals are reviewed at  within the SBL office for completeness in relation to the check list and then  by the Program Committee as a whole. Proposals should include the items on the check list and should describe the relationship of the proposed new unit to currently existing units. Specific program plans, including projected presenters and presentation titles, should be included.

Proposals and questions related to developing a proposal should be sent via email to Charlie Haws

Renewing a Program Unit

A check list for unit renewal is available here.
