SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS
ASM recognises the value of, and need for special interest groups (SIGs) within the framework of the society. The main purpose of SIGs is to advance the science of their special interest in Microbiology. SIGs are included in the planning for the annual scientific meeting and encouraged to suggest and organise symposia and workshops for this meeting or others held by state branches from time to time.
