Past Officers
The Society is run by volunteer Officers who are elected by the full Membership of the Society. These Officers donate their time, talent, and energy to the Society, and we are deeply indebted to them. In the lists below, the reader will recognize some of the “giants” of the science of paleobiology; each has left his/her mark and made significant contributions not only to paleontology but to the Society as well.
Note: Terms of Officers end with Annual Meeting of Society, which normally occurs in November of the year in the tables below.
PRESIDENTS
Beginning with organization of the Society in 1908, the Presidents were elected for a one-year term. With the adoption of the Tenth Revision of the Constitution and By-Laws on 21 Oct. 1997, the Presidents were elected to serve a two-year term beginning in 1998; this also affected the terms of the Presidents-Elect.

STUDENT REPRESENTATIVES:
Although the Student Representative was not a voting member of Council until the Eleventh Revision of the Constitution and By-Laws, approved in November 1998, the first two Student Representatives acted as observers and provided significant input into Council Meetings and are included in the Society’s “Honor Roll”. In 2007, the PS Council recommended and the PS membership later affirmed a motion to add a second Student Representative to the Council and to amend the term of service. Thereafter, the Student Representatives serve two-year terms that overlap by one year.
