About Our Leadership
The BSA Council provides strategic leadership for the organization, defining our mission and values and prioritizing initiatives to achieve them. Members of the Council serve as advocates and ambassadors for the Society’s initiatives and programs. On committees, BSA members help shape the future of bibliography by leading our key programs – like Events, Publications, BibSite, New Scholars, and Fellowships – and providing oversight on the Audit and Investment Committees.
