Our Fall and Spring section meetings provide a nice way for our members to meet and share experiences. Each meeting has a program chair who works with section officers to bring you the best possible speakers. Do you know someone whom you think would be an excellent speaker for our Friday evening dinner? Do you have a favorite lab or demonstration you want to share with your fellow physics teachers at our next section meeting? If so, let us hear from you. Your comments and suggestions are needed and welcomed. Just go to the Members of the Board page and email us.
