scientists, engineers, students and entrepreneurs fuel discoveries and shape real-life applications in the science of light. But that is just part of the story. Our volunteers contribute time and expertise to provide strategic leadership and help build the society.</p> <h6>Councils and Committees</h6> <p>In addition to the Board of Directors, volunteer leaders are selected each year to sit on various councils and committees that provide input on the Society’s strategy, products, and services. The councils and committees are comprised of appointed volunteers who have expertise related to the duties of the council and are committed to donating their time to Optica. It is through the work of the councils and committees that the Society is able to meet its short- and long-term goals.</p> <p>Governance volunteers are nominated by the President-elect and approved by the Board of Directors.  Volunteers generally serve a two or three term and terms follow the calendar year, 01 January to 31 December.</p> <div class="row row-cols-1 row-cols-sm-2 row-cols-md-3"> <div class="col mb-2"> <div class="card h-100"><img alt="" class="card-img-top" src="https://opticaorgdev.blob.core.windows.net/$web/optica/media/files/getinvolved/fiols_steve_cundiff_gerd_leuchs.jpg" /> <div class="card-body"> <h5 class="card-title"><a href="https://www.optica.org/about/leadership_and_volunteers/councils/board_committees/">Councils of the Board</a></h5> <p class="card-text">The Councils of the Board consist solely of Board members due to the nature of the work and as required under New York law.</p> <p class="card-text">The Councils of the Board include:</p> <ul> <li class="card-text">Audit Council</li> <li class="card-text">Awards Council</li> <li class="card-text">Executive Council</li> <li class="card-text">Finance Council</li> </ul> <p class="card-text">All Councils of the Board report to the Board of Directors. </p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col mb-2"> <div class="card h-100"><img alt="" class="card-img-top" src="https://opticaorgdev.blob.core.windows.net/$web/optica/media/files/getinvolved/mc_naomic_jensb_abbiew_abbia_1.jpg" /> <div class="card-body"> <h5 class="card-title"><a href="https://www.optica.org/about/leadership_and_volunteers/councils/councils/">Councils of the Corporation</a></h5> <p>The Board of Directors may appoint such other councils as it may deem necessary to conduct the Society’s affairs.
