The Science Advisory Board (www. scienceboard. net) announces the appointment of Michael L. Kibler to the position of Executive Director. The Science Advisory Board is a unique resource in the life science community, providing a voice to scientists around the world. More than just a Web site, The Science Advisory Board is a fast-growing online community where thousands of scientists convene to exchange information, opinions and insights with their colleagues from around the world.
Mr. Kibler noted, "The Science Advisory Board is a vibrant resource for scientists involved in the life sciences. I look forward to taking The Science Advisory Board to the next level by increasing the value and utility of this unique organization."
With over twenty years experience in organizational membership recruitment and retention, Mr. Kibler's appointment represents a key milestone in the evolution of The Science Advisory Board. What began as an innovative use of the Internet to connect suppliers and end-users of research technologies has emerged into a powerful voice for the life sciences community. With a membership that recently surpassed 28,000 scientists, The Science Advisory Board is increasingly exploring issues beyond technology. Recent studies have focused on international bio security, neuroscience and the ethical debate surrounding cloning.
In addition to participating in online studies, Science Advisory Board members benefit from news on the latest scientific and medical developments. By encouraging a robust exchange of information through Discussion Forums and Blogs, members are able to voice their views and share their expertise. Other features of The Science Advisory Board include profiles of scientists and medical professionals in the Member Spotlight column; book, Web site and product reviews in the Resources section; editorials on cutting-edge or controversial topics in the Perspectives column; and job and curricula vitae postings in the Career Center. Registered members are compensated for their time through a rewards program and, unlike other Web sites, there is no advertising permitted.
Mr. Kibler was formerly Vice President of Member Relations and Meetings at the Healthcare Distribution Management Association (HDMA), a trade association representing healthcare distributors. Prior to HDMA, Mr. Kibler served as Director of Member Services for the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists, where he was responsible for membership recruitment and member benefit development.
