The thirteen technical committees of the Acoustical Society of America (ASA), which meet at the semiannual ASA meetings, provide the focus for members' technical interests. Read the 2009 Annual Reports of the Technical Committees here.

The technical committees play an important role in arranging technical sessions for the meetings(see Guildelines for Organizers of Special Sessions), promoting new developments in their respective fields, representing the Society in joint sponsorship of meetings with other organizations, and assuming responsibility for their particular coverage of subject matter in publications of the Society. Committees also promote improved educational facilities for the study of acoustics. The technical committees host open meetings at each ASA meeting.

Members of the Society are encouraged to maintain close contact with the committees in their fields of interest. Members who are interested in being appointed to serve on a technical committee should send a message to asa@aip.org
