Planning Activities
The Planning Group makes the arrangements and plans for the MASPG's future events. It is an informal group that is open to any interested party. In practice, about 12 people have consistently participated. It is chaired by its founder, Richard Strombotne. It meets on the first Wednesday of the month in the fourth floor conference room at the American Center for Physics, College Park, Maryland.
