It is the policy of the Council to help specialty groups in organizing
symposia and sessions of contributed papers. A group may be organized upon
request by members of the Society interested in focusing attention on a
specified sub-discipline of physiology. Once organized, the group may have
representation on the Program Advisory Committee to recommend symposia for
the scientific meetings, to select chairpersons for sessions of contributed
papers, etc. Special interest groups may request Council to appoint a task
force to consider organizing the group into a permanent section.
The Epithelial Transport Group has a representative on the Program
Advisory Committee to plan symposia and conduct an annual business meeting
for the election of steering committee members.
