National Organization
The SPS National Council and its Executive Committee decide the policies of SPS. The Council is made up of 36 members, elected by chapters from one of 18 geographic zones. Each Zone represents a section of the country and is represented by a faculty Councilor and a student Associate Councilor. Both Councilors and Associate Councilors participate in zone activities and in the annual policy-making meeting of the Council. The Director of SPS is Gary White, a salaried physicist designated by AIP to administer the National Office's services and programs for SPS members. The Director is supported by additional National Office staff from the American Institute of Physics (AIP) Education Division.

Famous quotes containing the words national and/or organization:
“We are constantly thinking of the great war ... which saved the Union ... but it was a war that did a great deal more than that. It created in this country what had never existed before—a national consciousness. It was not the salvation of the Union, it was the rebirth of the Union.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“The village had institutionalized all human functions in forms of low intensity.... Participation was high and organization was low. This is the formula for stability.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
