AAS 2020 Membership Directory Is Online and Available to Members

Crystal Tinch American Astronomical Society (AAS)

2020 Membership Directory cover

Among the many benefits of membership in the AAS is a complimentary copy of the paper edition of the AAS Membership Directory, which is published annually by the AAS Executive Office for distribution to all members of the Society. Due to COVID-19, we are making the 2020 edition available to members online.

The directory contains a lot more information than the electronic directory, which exists online as a searchable database of individual members. A section of front matter consolidates key information about the Society that is scattered across many different pages of our website. Among the highlights:

  • Board of Trustees
  • Executive Office Staff
  • Mission & Vision Statement
  • Ethics Statement
  • Anti-Harassment Policy
  • Articles of Incorporation & Bylaws
  • Prizes & Prize Recipients
  • AAS Fellows
  • Honorary Members & Patrons
  • Corporate Members

There is also information about all our Divisions, Committees & Working Groups, and Media Relations, as well as descriptions of the various programs and activities managed by these groups or by the Executive Office.

The rest of the directory consists of listings of individual members broken down as follows:

  • Individual Members (alphabetically by last name)
  • US Members (by state/city)

Many members tell us that these listings are an invaluable resource and that much of the information compiled on those pages can't be found anywhere else. Many also tell us that they are excited to receive the paper edition in their mailboxes. For the 2020 edition, we have 100 printed copies available to AAS members. If you would like to get a copy of the printed directory, please email [email protected] and include your current mailing address. We apologize for the inconvenience this year; we will resume normal printing of the directory in 2021.
