Since 1973 CSSP has served as a strong national voice in fostering wise science policy, in support of science and science education, as the premier national science leadership development center, and as a forum for open, substantive exchanges on emerging scientific issues.
Council membership spans the top elected officers from the physical, mathematical and life sciences, and science and mathematics education. The Council is supported by dues and contributions from the supporting societies and annual contributions from Institutional Affiliates.
CSSP provides its members ready access to the top leadership of the research, mathematics, and science and mathematics education structure nationwide and the national prestige, power, and influence which attend its unique position.
