The Board of Directors shall appoint a Brain conference Chair, or Co-Chair, and a BrainPET conference chair or Co-Chair in case the BrainPET meeting is held together, normally four years in advance of a BRAIN meeting. The candidate for BrainPET conference Chair or Co-Chair will be nominated by the senior PET scientists.
The appointment is based on a submission by a member (or members) of the SOCIETY who, of his/her or their own free will, has proposed to organize a BRAIN symposium and has submitted a bid to the Board of Directors containing:
The Chairperson will be aided by a Program Committee, the chairperson and members of which will be appointed by the SOCIETY. The role of the Program Committee is to liaise with the Chairman on all matters that concern the content and scientific quality of BRAIN. The Chairperson must have served on a previous Program Committee for BRAIN.
The chairperson of the Program Committee shall periodically convoke meetings; the chairperson of BRAIN shall make the necessary travel and accommodation arrangements for the members of the Program Committee. All costs so incurred will be clearly stated in the meeting budget.
In addition, the Program Committee will be assisted by a Scientific Advisory Board which shall consist of scientists deemed essential by the Chairman and the Program Committee. The Scientific Advisory Board will be responsible for the grading of abstracts.
Furthermore, the Chairperson may, at his/her discretion, be assisted in any or all of his tasks by a Local Advisory Board.
