AASP Special Interest Groups (SIG)

Purpose

• To stimulate scholarly and professional growth
• Increase interest in a particular, focused topic

  (i.e., social media posts, blog entries, YouTube videos, newsletter articles, journal articles, conference presentations) 

Benefits

• An annual SIG meeting at the AASP conference
• Recognition of the SIG on the AASP website and the opportunity to attract new group members
