Special Problems Divisions

What are special problems divisions?

Within SSSP, there are twenty-two subgroups organized around specific topic, interests, or subdisciplines, called Special Problems Divisions. Each member will receive a FREE division membership and student members will receive two FREE division memberships. Members may choose additional memberships at $10 each.

The Roles and Responsibilities of Division Chairs

Division chairs are responsible for leading and running the business of the divisions that make up the structure of the Society.  So that each division's activities coordinate as a part of the whole Society, Division Chairs should familiarize themselves with the Roles and Responsibilities of Division Chairs.
