ILAR Council

ILAR’s advisory body, the ILAR Council, serves four principal functions:

to provide program direction and strategic planning;
to oversee information and communication programs (e.g., the ILAR website and the quarterly ILAR Journal);
to oversee studies, reports, workshops, and other projects; and
to direct ILAR’s international programs.

To fulfill ILAR’s mission, Council members serve on one of three subcommittees: the Development and Outreach Subcommittee, International Subcommittee, and ILAR Journal Editorial Board.

The ILAR Council meets for two days twice per year.
