AAS Members Meeting

You may think you belong to the AAS, but it's really the other way around: the Society belongs to you. That's why every AAS summer meeting includes the Annual Members Meeting, where attendees hear brief reports from the Society's leaders and have an opportunity to raise and comment on issues of concern. In Boston one of the highlights of the Members Meeting (other than the free beer and pretzels) was the handover of the presidential gavel from David Helfand (Quest University Canada) to Meg Urry (Yale University).
