AVS is a place for camaraderie, collaboration, and connection at the regional, national, and international levels.

Members have many ways to connect with others who share their interests. Participate in one or more Divisions or Technical Groups, each focused on a major topical area. Chapters and Student Chapters provide opportunities to connect locally and address the needs of their regional communities.

AVS also connects members around the world through International Chapters and International Affiliates, fostering scientific exchange, collaboration, and professional connections across borders.

Beyond these groups, members can get involved in Committees and other volunteer opportunities—building skills, developing leadership experience, serving as leaders within the Society, and helping shape the future of AVS.
