Leadership
In spring 2021, the BioTAP Sustainability Task Force made recommendations to the Steering Committee for transitioning to an independent research network. In October 2021, they established a Governance Task Force to establish policies and procedures for future leadership of the network, and three standing committees: Conference, Education, and Communication & Networking.
Governance Task Force members and chairs of standing committees will serve as the Executive Leadership Committee of the BioTAP network that develops a permanent governance structure.
