Membership The composition of the USLC/IUPAP is designed to provide strong links with the U.S. physics communities and relevant U.S. scientific and professional societies. The USLC's membership includes representatives of the American Physical Society, the American Institute of Physics, the American Association of Physics Teachers, and the Acoustical Society of America. To promote the international advancement of physics and further the interests of the U.S. physics community, the USLC/IUPAP nominates at least one U.S. citizen to each of the nineteen IUPAP commissions. U.S. representatives on IUPAP commissions serve as ex officio members of the USLC. U.S. members on the executive council of IUPAP are also appointed as ex officio members. The committee has made a concerted effort to make the membership younger and more diverse. These efforts will continue and will have positive influence on the Union.
