Officers & Councilors
The American Peptide Society is governed by elected Officers and Councilors who volunteer their time and expertise to advance the mission of the society. Officers serve two-year terms and are responsible for the strategic direction and day-to-day operations of the organization.
Councilors serve six-year terms and provide guidance on society initiatives, symposium planning, awards, and membership development. Together, this leadership team works to promote peptide science education, foster collaboration, and support the peptide research community worldwide.
