Fourteen local sections have been organized to monitor Society activities on a 
local or geographic basis. These Sections hold technical and business meetings, con 
tact members and solicit new members, and, on occasion, sponsor a large semiannual 
meeting of the National Society. Their existence and activities promise the individual 
member more effective participation in the work of the Society. 
In these and in many other ways, a National Society can be of service to its 
discipline and to its membership. In thirty years of life, the American Society of 
Photogrammetry has contributed immensely to the growth of the science of photo- 
grammetry. Many areas exist where the work of the Society can be improved, ex 
tended and enhanced; the present leadership dedicates itself to effecting these im 
provements in the shortest possible time.
