Transactions of the American Fisheries Society
AFS organizes scientific meetings where new results are reported and discussed. In addition to these primary functions, the Society has many other programs in areas such as professional certification, international affairs, public affairs and public information. More than 100 chapters, divisions, student
subunits, and sections carry out the mission of the society at the local,
regional, and special interest level. Chapters The mission of Chapters within the American Fisheries Society is to advance Society goals by coordinating member activities related to information exchange, outreach, and aquatic stewardship within their geographic region, including coordinating with appropriate local, provincial, and state-level government and nongovernmental agencies and organizations. Chapters serve member needs in local and provincial/state areas and represent those needs to the Division leadership. The California-Nevada Chapter is one of the largest in AFS with more than 500 members. Divisions The mission of Divisions within the American Fisheries Society is to advance Society goals by coordinating and complementing Chapter activities related to information exchange, outreach, aquatic stewardship, and governance at a regional level, and to maintain a liaison role with regional resource stakeholders. Divisions serve member needs in large geographic areas by coordinating with provincial and state-level agencies and organizations, and among AFS units, and representing Chapter needs to the AFS leadership (i.e., Society officers, Executive Director, and Governing Board members). Sections The mission of Sections within the American
Fisheries Society is to advance Society goals by coordinating activities of
members with similar disciplinary and topical interests, by stimulating
information exchange and outreach related to those interests, and by providing
expertise to AFS and other users. Sections serve member needs without geographic
limits and represent member needs to the AFS leadership, particularly as they
relate to the discipline or topical area. Sections may work with
geographically-based AFS units to address specific member needs. Update your membership information with AFS National Update your membership information with the California-Nevada Chapter Subscribe to the California-Nevada Chapter's e-mail list
