Officer and Councilor Commitments:
Officers and Councillors contribute to the ICRS vision and ensure the Society remains a global leader in coral reef scientific discovery, education, and a strong voice for science-informed policies that protect our coral reefs for future generations. Officers meet monthly and the full council (Officers and Councillors) meet quarterly; all meetings are conducted via Zoom. Officers and Councillors can participate in committees, propose new initiatives, and contribute to decisions regarding the functioning of the Society.
