OSA Local Section Communities

In an ongoing effort to provide added benefit to our Local Sections, OSA offers an online community to Local Section officers.

The OSA Local Section Yahoo! Group Web site is open to any OSA members and features messages about upcoming deadlines, events, and items of interest for Local Section officers.  There are polls, pictures, and files that are stored on the site and it serves as a way to stay connected to what’s happening at OSA headquarters.  Visit the site to join and a request will be sent to OSA.  Once approved, you will receive notification that you are a member and you will be able to see the site’s content!

Other OSA groups have their own group web communities, including:

 The Optical Society of San Diego – An OSA Local Section that holds regular meetings to promote learning and business in the fields of optical sciences and optical engineering. The group meets in the greater San Diego area once a month from September through June. Meetings are during the week, after work, with light dinner served.

IONS-Project – The IONS (International OSA Network of Students) is a very ambitious project. Its goal is to strengthen both professional and personal ties among OSA Student Chapters. It is aimed at establishing ties between young researchers and institutes. Access to the site is invitation only.
