Established in 1907, the American Society of Agronomy has a long and distinguished history. Achieving the mission of ASA – “Agronomy Feeds the World!” – is only possible through the dedicated leadership of our communities, sections, committees, editorial boards, and board of directors.

Communities are the building blocks of ASA. Communities allow ASA members opportunities to collaborate and educate while focusing on key technical and discipline-oriented topics. Community Leaders provide direction and purpose for and are a direct point of contact and guidance for many ASA members—they play a critical role in the success of ASA.

Sections provide the organizing framework for ASA. They facilitate planning, communication, and coordination among the programs and services of ASA. Each section also has a representative that serves on the ASA Board of Directors, providing a voice for section members and interests at the leadership level of the Society.

The Board of Directors provides the vision and strategic direction for ASA.

Committees and task forces provide recommendations and guidance to the Board of Directors. These groups focus on membership perspectives and work to provide memorable member experiences.

Headquarters staff keep the trains running. They monitor performance of Society programs, work with leadership from communities, sections, committees and task forces, and liaise with the Board of Directors to provide member programs. They are here to guide and serve the membership of ASA.
