Interest Groups are excellent venues for professional development and knowledge sharing. The primary activity in each group is a discussion list, supplemented by occasional conference calls on special topics. Participation is open to AASHE members and non-members alike. To join an Interest Group contact the moderator or subscribe to the group's discussion list. If you would like to start an Interest Group on a new topic, contact info [AT] aashe.org.
