THE AMERICAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY STRIVES TO

Be the leading voice for and an authoritative source of physics information for the advancement of physics and the benefit of humanity

Collaborate with national scientific societies for the advancement of science, science education, and the science community

Cooperate with international physics societies to promote physics, to support worldwide, and to foster international collaboration

Have an active, engaged, and diverse membership, and support the activities of its units and members.

his year saw a global celebration in July with the discovery of the Higgs. In October we celebrated the TNobel Prize for research in quantum physics. We are now seeing a continued increase in the number of students enrolling in physics and engineering courses. It is a great time to be a ! As the premier membership society for physicists, the APS is in very good stead in its core areas of pub- lishing, meetings, membership growth and finances. We have exceptional programs in outreach, education, international affairs, and government relations and advocacy. However, we should continue to strengthen our organization and to respond to new opportunities. In 2011 we initiated a strategic planning process to help define goals and objectives for the APS over the next five years. The elements of the plan were developed jointly with APS staff and members of the APS Executive Board, and communicated to APS members in 2012. I call the Strategic Plan the three-plus-one plan, with three outward-facing goals and the fourth goal look- ing inward to increase organizational excellence. Goal One is to better serve APS members with improved communications, a more diverse and inclusive APS membership and enhanced international engagement. Goal Two is to better serve the physics community by disseminating physics more effectively, serving as the principal voice for physics to policy makers, and leading the development of outstanding programs in education and di- versity. Goal Three is to better serve society through becoming an authoritative source for physics information, increasing the public’s appreciation of the value of physics, and providing innovative programs to enhance STEM education. Implementation of the Strategic Plan will be guided by recommendations of various Task Forces of APS mem- bers. A Development Task Force, led by President-Elect Mac Beasley, was created early in the process because fund-raising is essential to fulfilling many of the Strategic Plan goals. We also established a Task Force on Early- career Physicists to advise APS on how best to support and engage this important and rapidly growing segment of our membership. A significant challenge for APS publishing is to maintain our excellence while meeting the goal of public access to research supported by federal funds. A Task Force on Open Access is working to communicate with policy makers on these issues. Other important areas, which we will be examining in the future, include increasing our international engagement, better serving our international members as well as the community of industrial physicists, and ensuring that our meetings continue to be “must attend” events. It has been my privilege to serve the APS as a member of the presidential line and as president in 2012. Face-to-face meetings with APS unit leaders and committee chairs have confirmed that the core strength of the APS lies in its members and volunteer leaders.

Sincerely,

Robert L. Byer APS 2012 President S E d i t o P r i a A l O f f i c
