The Teratology Society is a non-profit organization, 501(c)(3). The Teratology Society was founded in 1960 and incorporated in 1961 under the laws of the state of Ohio. The Constitution and Bylaws provide the fundamental governance guidelines for the Officers, Council, and Committees of the Society.
These guidelines for publication and presentation are complementary to the Code of Ethics and are an extension of the philosophy embodied in the Code as it applies specifically to publication and presentation of information by members of the Teratology Society as they function as authors, reviewers, editors, consultants and experts to government, universities, industry and the courts.
Members of the Teratology Society subscribe to the Code of Ethics adopted by the Society membership on June 8, 1990.
The Officers of the Society include the President, Vice President, Vice President-elect, Past President, Secretary, and Treasurer. Three Councilors serve on the Council during their terms of office. The remaining members of the Council shall serve for a term of three years and shall not be eligible for reelection to the same post for two years after retiring from office.
