2010 Assembly of Society Officers

As an umbrella society for 10 Member Societies and 25 Affiliated Societies, the American Institute of Physics (AIP) seeks ways to align itself with their goals to support them and the physics community. The Assembly of Society Officers is one very effective means by which AIP informs its Member and Affiliated Societies about important issues, such as science policy and trends in scientific publishing.
