SLAS Governance

The governance of SLAS ensures the Society is positioned to maximize the strength of its volunteer leadership and to deliver the greatest value to SLAS members and stakeholders. 

The representation of volunteers and subject matter experts from around the globe in all major aspects of our society enables SLAS to remain attuned to the needs and priorities of the different disciplines and markets that the Society serves. Volunteers are key to SLAS’s ability to develop and deliver a dynamic portfolio of programs and services that serves a global community of life sciences technology and discovery professionals.
