ASGSR 2020 Day on the Hill!
Greetings from the ASGSR Executive Director. The Governing Board met in Washington, DC March 9-12, 2020 for the annual spring meeting and stakeholder visits. Over the course of two and a half days, the Board received briefings on the status of the life and physical sciences microgravity decadal from the National Academies, strategic planning from the Office of Management and Budget, and status briefings from NASA. For more information on the decadal planningplease attend the virtual Committee on Biological and Physical Sciences in Space meeting March 30-31
On March 12th the Board visited more than twenty-five Congressional Offices, four NASA offices, the Office of Science and Technology Policy and the National Space Council. The purpose of these meetings was to advocate and educate the offices on the value of this research. Our one-page advocacy white paper can be found on the ASGSR website www.asgsr.org.
ASGSR continues to assess the status of COVID-19 with regards to our 36th Annual Meeting, and will continue to keep you informed on any changes over the next few months.
Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns you might have.
