AOAC Sections: Connecting with Worldwide Analytical Communities

The AOAC Section Program encompasses 17 sections in the U.S. and worldwide, representing four continents and over 90 countries outside of the United States.  Sections provide opportunities for participants to share information, build professional contacts, expand leadership skills and gain practical management experience.

The purpose of Sections is to promote the common interest of Association members in specified areas of analytical science. Both the growth of membership in the Association and proliferation of specialties in analytical science have brought about a need for Sections; they are a means of increasing communication and interaction among persons of similar interests within the framework of a larger organizations. While Sections facilitate relationships and work among persons with a common interest, they also provide an opportunity for individuals to participate actively in their international association.
