McDaniel, Kepes, and Banks (2011) sug-gest a broader and more proactive role for the Society of Industrial and Organi-zational Psychology (SIOP) in the devel-opment of federal regulations, employment laws, and court decisions. The focal arti-cle cites SIOP's mission and portions of the committee structure as evidence that SIOP's influence in these arenas should be stronger. In this commentary, we describe more specific mechanisms for broadening the influence of industrial and organiza-tional (I-O) psychology in these arenas. Further, we outline the context for SIOP's actions and detail some of the current activ-ities of the Society related to the role of science in employment regulation.
