Groups of NAPCRG members with similar interests come together at Annual Meetings and communicate throughout the year to share experiences, resources, and plans. To begin a new Special Interest Group, contact pnoland@napcrg.org with the name, university, and e-mail address of the SIG chair and the title of the SIG. New SIGs may also be featured in future issues of the NAPCRG Newsletter, so new SIG chairs may provide NAPCRG with a brief description of the goals and focus of their new group.
