The Council
of Scientific Society Presidents is an organization of presidents,
presidents-elect, and recent past presidents of about sixty scientific
federations and societies whose combined membership numbers well over 1.4
million scientists and science educators.
Since 1973
CSSP has served as a strong national voice in fostering wise science policy, in
support of science and science education, as the premier national science
leadership development center, and as a forum for open, substantive exchanges on
emerging scientific issues.
Council membership spans the top elected
officers of the full spectrum of physical, mathematical, and life sciences, and
science and mathematics education. The Council is supported by dues and
contributions from the supporting societies and annual contributions from
Institutional Affiliates.
