During the annual meeting of the BPM Steering Committee (BPM SC) at this year's BPM 2015 in Innsbruck, it was decided to invite Stefanie Rinderle-Ma and Manfred Reichert as new BPM SC members. They both accepted their honorable invitations to join the committee (see http://bpm-conference.org/ for a list of all ten SC members).

Stefanie Rinderle-Ma is a full professor at the University of Vienna and has been active in the BPM community for many years. She was workshop chair for BPM 2009 and PC chair for BPM 2011. Stefanie was a former member of the DBIS group as well.

Manfred Reichert, director of the DBIS institute, has been involved in the BPM conference series since its inception. He organized BPM 2009 in Ulm and was PC chair in 2008, General Workshop Chair in 2015, and Doctoral Consortium Chair in 2012. Furthermore, he contributed to the BPM conference series in many other ways (e.g., as co-organizer of the ProHealth workshop series).

Both Stefanie and Manfred were co-authors of the paper Evaluation of Correctness Criteria for Dynamic Workflow Changes presented at BPM 2003. This paper won the first BPM Test of Time Award in 2013.
