Committees are essential to AAPT.
In addition to committees that advise and oversee operations, such as
Publications, Awards, and Budget, there are those that focus on advancing physics education. There are currently 18 Area
Committees, each with nine members who hold staggered three-year terms: One new member is appointed each year by
the Nominating Committee and two are appointed by the incoming president. Their responsibilities range from developing
academic content for the meetings to acting as stewards for their particular area of interest.
