Structure and Administration

Under the direction of the Board and the Executive, which is appointed by member associations, the Book and Periodical Council secretariat conducts the day to day administration of the Council. The ongoing work of the Council is conducted through two standing Committees – the Board Committee and the Program Advisory Committee.

As circumstances require, the Board charges industry appointed Task Forces with the responsibility of addressing specific areas of wide concern. Task Forces make recommendations for action.
