Past Leaders

This group of previous leaders of the Society provides important perspectives about many relevant issues, including the current state and direction of the Society, its potential future goals, how it might relate to other professional groups.

There is at least one Past Leader on the Program Committee, and Past Leaders are encouraged to participate on each of the APS committees.

The Past Leaders Special Interest Group meets at a dinner during the Annual Meeting, convenes by conference call at least twice each year, and engages in other business, such as nominating individuals for APS awards, or communicating about specific activities by email and use of the APS website.
