Our Structure

 

Staff

Our staff consists of our lab manager, who is responsible for managing and communicating with new and current lab members, ensuring their safety and ability to pursue their projects within the SBL lab. While supporting our community in their research endeavors, our staff manager also directs and assists with new lab initiatives.

Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors is the governing body of SBL. They focus on high-level strategy, oversight, and accountability of our organization. Unlike other non-profit Boards, SBL board members are extensively involved in the organization. All SBL board members serve as committee volunteers and/or committee chairs.

 

Committees

Each committee (listed below) manages a different aspect of our organization. All of our committees are volunteer-led. If you are interested in learning more or potentially joining any of our committees, please email the committee chair directly.
